About this Unit
This unit prepares students for work in Indigenous communities as welfare and community workers. It identifies the skills and knowledge students need to acquire to develop as professional self-reflective workers in the field. The unit starts with exploring students' expectations of and understandings about welfare and social and community development; and identifies the skills students need to acquire throughout the course in order to become professional and self-reflective in a range of different work and community contexts. Later units will build on the skills base developed in this unit.
