Placement Types

Structured Workplace Learning

Young people who participate in Structured Workplace Learning undertake accredited industry training as part of their senior secondary schooling. Structured Workplace Learning provides the young person with opportunities to practice the industry specific skills that they have learnt and developed as part of their vocational training. Typically a business would host the young person in the workplace for a week or one day per week over a period of time. 

The IMVC has an online register to promote work placement opportunities. The register has simplified protocols and streamlined administration.

School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships

SBATs offer students enrolled in a senior secondary school certificate, the option of combining part time work, school and training. The student would be employed part time and undertake industry training which leads to a nationally recognised qualification whilst completing their schooling. The program is undertaken under a training contract and requires a training plan to be signed by the employer and school.
