Pitching Skill [Where Are They Now Project]

ABOUT INTERDISCIPLINARY COMMUNICATION PROJECT COURSE

Interdisciplinary Communication Project course is an opportunity for the Communication students in their last semester to use their knowledge learnt from the previous courses regarding Public Relations and Advertising to develop and implement a communication project. In this class, the topic was to connect and inspire past and current RMIT students. The class was divided into teams of four to develop and project plan and to make a pitch. The most realistic and prospective plan would be selected by the client - RMIT Communication Department.

ABOUT WHERE ARE THEY NOW PROJECT
Where Are They Now project was a communication project run by Professional Communication last semester students who were in Interdisciplinary Communication Project course. The purpose of the project was to connect past and present RMIT students by sharing success stories of the past students to inspire the current students to study and live actively. The stories were shared on an intranet page www.online.rmit.edu.vn/alumni through written profiles or video profiles of RMIT alumni who had exceptional achievements.
