Extra-Curricular Activities
Extra-Curricular Activities provide you a way to accrue hours towards your Professional Practice Program outside of in-industry experience and in-curriculum. Extra-Curricular activities should assist you in attaining the EA Stage 1 Competencies listed in ‘Table 3: Professional and Personal Attributes'.
In the below calendar, we share activities that we know of, and advise of the PPP hour amount you can gain by attending. You are also welcome to source activities yourself, and if they fit within our approved activities you can also gain PPP hours for these.
PPP hours are automatically allocated for events that are run by the UniSA Careers Team. For any other activities, you are required to upload the details and evidence for what you are claiming to InPlace for our team to review. Find the InPlace instructions here.
