The MCSI Mentor Program aims to give students an opportunity to reflect on and explore work place practices in their chosen field, through consultation with an experienced Christian practitioner in the field. It provides a relationship based opportunity for students to investigate their chosen vocation in more depth from a Christian perspective. Mentors will provide students with insight into the practical outworking of Christian faith and values in the workplace. This will encompass day to day workplace practices as well as philosophical approaches to ethical and other issues in the workplace and currently accepted 'best practice'. This unit is graded only at the S/F level. Students will spend at least 156 hours in this program. Assessment includes a paper of 5,000-6,000 words. (Contact MCSI before enrolment)
