Workplacement is a compulsory part of your student’s HSC when studying a VET course. It is just as important as all their other assessment tasks.
The following are a few tips to help student have a successful workplacement:
- Make sure their insurance documents are signed (these documents will be provided by the school)
- Make sure they have the equipment they need eg. Workboots, hard hat, chef’s uniform, etc. (a Student Placement
- Details report will be provided which includes equipment/clothing needed).
- Have they arranged transport?
- Make sure they attend everyday & are punctual.
- If they are too sick to go to workplacement make sure they contact the host as well as their school – remember any hours absent will need to be made up even if they have a doctor’s certificate.
- Encourage them to go with a positive attitude – the more they put into their workplacement the more they will get out of it.
