2024 has again been a challenging year and in particular to the process of Work Placement Coordination. With an increase in complexities that impact smooth and successful placement, we appreciate your prompt response to providing the details below. A more detailed confirmation will be provided by Week 2 of Term 4 this year outlining the next steps and required communication moving into 2025. Our current Work Placement Support strategy has been to work with local schools and RTO's and link local employers within the immediate region of the School/RTO. Our focus has been on making the process streamlined for all parties and ensure a realistic experience for students.
