Assignment title: Information
Task
The following collaborative research project requires you to work in groups, each group consisting of approximately 2 or 3 students. Please confirm your group composition with your lecturer.
You and a group of investors are interested in setting up a chain of coaching colleges in a number of Local Government Areas in Australia. The aim of these colleges is to coach students in years 7 to 12 in order to maximise their final scores in the students' year 12 exams. In order to do this successfully you need to ensure that the regions you choose will support your business over the next 10 years. Your minimum criteria are:
• enough adults who are likely to have children within those age ranges
• these adults have the funds to pay for coaching (how you identify that is up to you but you need to document this criterion)
• enough children in the coaching age group.
These are the minimum criteria – you should identify some more that you can use in this business decision.
Your task is to prepare a report to be presented to your co-investors which identifies two (2) Local Government Areas in Australia which meet your criteria. Your report should demonstrate how these Local Government Areas meet the minimum criteria above and additional criteria which you have identified. You should also identify additional statistical information that is required before a final decision is made to start building the first coaching centre.

Excellent group participation and communication of the research findings demonstrating scholarly understanding of the issues involved via knowledgeable and engaging Power Point presentation.
A wide range of resources used and referenced. Good group participation and communication of the research findings demonstrating a reasonable understanding of the issues involved via informative and engaging Power Point presentation.
A number of resources used and referenced. Fair group participation and communication of the research findings demonstrating some understanding of the issues
involved via average Power Point presentation.
One or more resources used, not all resources referenced. Some group participation and communication of the research findings demonstrating lower level understanding of the issues involved via weaker Power Point presentation to other students in lecture group.
One resource used.
REPORTS:
We need TWO reports of 250 words each. The report should be related to the same data but the way of presentation of the report should be different since we have plagiarism. We also need all the data that is collected since we have to attach it to the report.
