Employer and will contribute to operational improvement of the Employer’s workplace
the Independent Project is of the Student’s own design but developed in consultation with the Workplace
Supervisor
The Employer acknowledges and agrees that:
the Student is a paid employee of the Employer
the Workplace Supervisor will provide adequate supervision to the Student and access to required
resources for the duration of the Independent Project

achievement of the Independent Project outcomes when requested upon completion of the Independent

Employer or the Workplace Supervisor in supervising the Student during the course of the Independent
Project or in providing feedback to JCU with respect to the Student’s performance
JCU will not be liable for any loss or damage to any person or loss or damage to property which may arise
