Work/Industry Placements \

Work/Industry Placement – Employer Details form

High school students looking for a placement, follow these steps:

STEP 1: Talk to your Careers Advisor

STEP 2: Go to the School-Employment Engagement Portal to find out what is available

STEP 3: Fill out the Expression of Interest (EOI)Form

Work experience functions as the first step for students into industry, helping them to gain valuable experience and knowledge in their chosen field. This can then lead to further, more comprehensive placements that will broaden their professional knowledge.

Students can undertake placements in a variety of industries and vocations.

SWL allows students to gain hands-on skills related to the course they are studying at school. Employers provide training to assist students to master key competencies or skills. Placements for SWL can be undertaken in a range of modes e.g. one day a week or in week blocks.

Taking on and SWL placement not only benefits students, but local businesses as well.

SBATs are the same as normal apprenticeships and traineeships except that they are completed part-time whilst the young person continues their schooling, rather than being done full time.

Relationships and skills are fostered through SWL, by allowing young people and employers to connect and work together.
