What is PPD?

Brief Introduction to PPD...

An essential aspect of professional practice is in-depth objective analysis of one’s own strengths and weaknesses.  This, combined with a clear strategy for presenting one’s skills and abilities to potential employers or clients, is critical to future success. The aim of this unit is to support students in making the transition from study to employment or freelance work. In previous study (Unit 3: Professional Practice) you explored the broad areas of professional practice within creative media production, and preparing for employment. Building on this, you will now apply your skills and knowledge to the development of a strategy for your future career, whether in employment or self-employed. 

All work MUST be submitted by the required deadline.

It is your responsibility to make sure they are saved in the correct format, titled as instructed and submitted in the correct folder on drive. The submission for this unit culminates in four learning outcomes ...
