Whakawatea, which may refer to the closing song, is an apt title for the Industry Cooperative course in the Bachelor of Recreation and Sport programme. Completed by all students in the final year of the degree, this course gives students an opportunity to complete a 150-hour practicum experience aligned with the student’s academic and professional interests within the sport, recreation and health industry.
Each year the students become involved with numerous organisations, and the contribution to the community is a credit to the students, the hosting organisations and EIT.
This booklet is designed to present summaries of the Whakawatea, Industry Cooperative projects for 2016. We hope you find it informative, interesting and motivating, whether reading it as a potential student, an interested industry partner, stakeholder, or a current student looking for inspiration for your own industry cooperative project.
