1. Carefully read the following:

	You need to identify two different presentation topics to conduct two different presentations of approximately 15 minutes each in length. Review the information below to assist you in choosing a presentation topic. Speak directly to your assessor about where and how you will deliver your presentations. These can be delivered in the workplace, in the classroom or virtually depending on your mode of study and circumstances. Your assessor will either be present physically or virtually to observe you for at least one of your presentations but may view a video recording of your second presentation.
	Vocational education and training is all about gaining and developing practical skills that are industry relevant and that can help you to succeed in your chosen career. For this reason, basing your project on real workplace, study or interest topics will mean that you are applying your knowledge and skills in a relevant, practical and meaningful way!
	Choose two from the following. Note, if you have a workplace, you can choose two workplace topics. Workplace information If you have a workplace, you could focus on developing a presentation for two areas of need or interest. This could include information about a specific department, a new initiative or partnership that has been formed or any other aspect. Occupation of interest Your presentation could focus on an occupation that is of interest to you and that a student studying your course could pursue following the completion of their course. Your presentation should include a range of information about the occupation/s. For example, key roles and responsibilities, key skills required to complete the job, job outlook both in Australia and overseas, training required and average salaries. Topic of interest Your presentation could focus on a topic that you are studying in your course and that is of particular interest to you. Your presentation should address key concepts related to the topic. For example, if you are studying marketing, your topic could be the effectiveness of digital marketing and include a range of information about its purpose, contrast with other forms of marketing and statistics about its effectiveness. Similarly, if you are studying human resources, you may choose to develop a presentation about the use of social media for recruitment.

In this section, you will need to: Plan your key concepts, ideas and purpose of your two different presentations Plan the particulars around timing, location and strategy Plan your presentation aids, materials and techniques for your two presentations. Please note, different aids, materials and strategies are required for the two different presentations. For example, you might choose to create a PowerPoint presentation for the one and play a video clip or use imagery or sound in the other. Plan your evaluation strategies. Choose two techniques that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of your presentation and then plan the associated documents you will create. The purpose of the evaluation is to seek feedback on participants' understanding of the ideas and concepts you presented, as well as their ideas on how you can improve your performance.
