How does Global Scope work?

The Practera team (who run Global Scope) will assign a business problem to teams based on final numbers and participating organisations once students are accepted into the program.

Students will create working briefs, liaise with their team members, be guided by professionals and deliver process improvement options or external research options back to the clients.

Students will learn soft skills, teamwork, project management, working with industry professionals, increasing their professional networks, application of business skills and improving their overall employability.

Do I get a certificate?

How is this program different?

What would I do on the program?

As a student consultant, I will:

• Need to be in Sydney during the program to meet with your team and professionals (project client and industry mentor) regularly.
• Work with your assigned NSW Government Agency, NGO or private enterprise.
• Interact with and develop networks with leaders, project clients, industry mentors and management consultants.
• Work with in a diverse team to create an innovative business proposition.
• Learn applied business skills in industry.
• Develop real world professional skills.

This is an extracurricular program. To gain the official certification, you must complete:

• The 50-hour commitment;
• Meetings with professionals every week (On average, one hour meeting with project client and another one hour meeting with industry mentor every week);
• The project deliverables: Project Plan, Project Findings Report (Draft), Project Findings Report (Final) and Final Presentation.

Do I have to be in the country?

No. This program is suitable for remote working conditions with fully virtual industry and team engagement, so you aren’t required to be physically in the country to participate.

What if I have a part-time Job?

It is fine if you have a part-time job, but you must be able to commit a minimum of 50 hours of work on the project over the three weeks of the program. You will need to coordinate with your team to ensure that you’re able to attend meetings and contribute equally to all deliverables.

Will I be paid to work on this Project?

No, you will not be paid to work on this project. This is first and foremost a learning experience.​

What is required of me?

This program will combine some online learning with a two hour workshop, 3 - 4 meetings with professionals (clients and industry mentors).

You will attend a workshop at university and meetings hosted by mentor and project client organisation. On-site residency at partner agency/organisation is not required although some meetings on-site may take place.

Some learning, delivery and project management will be undertaken online. Mentoring of students by clients and mentors will be via a mix of remote and face-to-face as necessary. Team collaboration will be required throughout.
