Australia’s first Graduate Certificate in Corporate Responsibility began at La Trobe University Graduate School of Management in February 2009. The curriculum was developed with input from an Industry Advisory Group which was convened by ACCSR and included senior CSR managers from a dozen leading companies, such as Westpac, Alcoa, IBM, Telstra, National Australia Bank, Members Equity Bank and Stockland.
The Graduate Certificate is an important step towards the professionalisation of CSR as a management function. It will help ensure there is a common body of knowledge that CSR professionals and their employers can trust to teach the highest standards of competence in managing CSR.
The Graduate Certificate requires completion of four compulsory units and is suitable for people who are or would like to be working in CSR and for people for would like to obtain knowledge in CSR. One of the subjects in the Graduate Certificate of Corporate Responsibility is called Integrating Responsible Business Practices, and it is taken via attendance at ACCSR workshops.
