Content
With the Workfield orientation course we focus on the CMD work field and your place in it. As a student, you have a lot to do with this field: with clients and internship companies, and after your graduation, with employers and customers.
This course will focus on how creative, innovative companies work. We do this by mapping out a company where you want to work using different business models. You will look at how this company seeks to connect with its customers; finds and implements innovations in the market; and develops into the future.
There is also attention for you in the field. As a student you make a start with creating your own showcase portfolio, such as a website, containing the best of the work you wish to show as a professional to the outside world. This by means of products made in the first year - and beyond - and by presenting yourself personally as a professional in words and images. This portfolio is then viewed and provided feedback by fellow students and someone from the professional field.
The final assignment is a presentation in which students reflect individually on their field of work using a portfolio and a business analysis.
