WORK PLACEMENT
As a part of Rise Education and Training, students are required to undertake work placement.
This is the opportunity to develop and demonstrate the application of skills and knowledge in a
workplace context. Written assessments allow you to demonstrate your knowledge, and a work
placement allows you to demonstrate actual skills in a real-life workplace.
You will become exposed to real work conditions and expectations and develop generic employability skills as well as job
specific skills and knowledge.
Work placement also provides insight into particular job roles and responsibilities within an industry context. Students will
be required to undergo a NDIS and Police Checks if not already held. Rise Education and Training will confirm with the
student an appropriate placement host and assess their ability to provide, or arrange to provide, the facilities, range of
work, supervision, and training required for the placement. Rise Education and Training does not organise Work
Placement, this is the responsibility of the student, but can help guide you in this area.
Rise Education and Training Administration maintains a list of suitable placement venues to support student unable to
secure a vocational placement. Rise Education and Training will support and make all attempts to secure a place for the
student.
