[Subject & Grade] Skills Development in the Human Services Satisfactory (This was a satisfactory / unsatisfactory grade only) [Subject Information] This unit aims to prepare students for work in community welfare, social work, international social development and youth work by equipping them with a wide variety of skills necessary for a range of intervention strategies. Given the breadth of this unit, the knowledge and skills will be covered at a baseline or foundation level. Later units will build on the level of skills covered in this unit. There are two components to the unit - interpersonal skills and computing skills. Both must be completed satisfactorily to pass the unit. Students need to demonstrate that they have satisfactory competencies in spoken and written English and basic computing skills in order to pass this unit and progress in their award. [My Comments] 
This subject focussed on skills development. Part of the subject involved computer training - which was great for me and something I was able to excel at as I have extensive computer knowledge already. The other half of the subject involved development of communication skills, including report writing and interviewing. Every tutorial involved role plays and while I cringed each week at having to do them, I appreciate them now as I am using these skills in my day to day work.
