This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to display a professional attitude when working in the creative arts industry, including when implementing strategies to find work, responding to work opportunities, operating in the work environment, and establishing and maintaining industry networks.

The unit applies to those who could be establishing a career as a performer in disciplines, such as dance, music, acting or circus skills, or they could be specialising in choreography, production management, arts administration, visual arts, design or community cultural development. At this level people are expected to apply wide-ranging, highly specialised technical, creative or conceptual skills to express ideas and perspectives. Work activities are largely self-directed.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
