Students will be required to complete 120 hours of work placement. This is to be completed during Week 11 of each term at a time to suit the student and their work placement provider. Students must complete 30 hours of work placement during this time. Work placement providers will be provided with a list of activities that students are to complete in the workplace to develop their skills. Assessment will also be conducted in the workplace by Melbourne Metro College trainer and assessor. Students must undergo a working with children check prior to placement which will be at the student’s own cost. Melbourne Metro College will assist all students to obtain work placements. However, students may also find their own work placement. Work placement agreements will be signed with participating organisations and a facilities check will take place prior to the agreement being signed. Trainers/assessor will visit students on their work placement at least 4 times to provide on the job training, as well as to conduct observations for assessment purposes.
