Workplace Information for Teachers

Mid Coast Connect Assisting in further education and training for young people and parents and employers

What is work placement?

Work placement opportunities present young people with the chance to gain first-hand experience in a real workplace that will prepare them for future employment. It can be a great way to try on different careers and see how you feel about them, all the while gaining practical skills and experience. 

Mid Coast Connect sources work placements from our supportive host employers and works with schools and TAFE to match students with appropriate work placement opportunities.

Work Placement

Students who are studying in a Vocational and Educational Training (VET) course are typically required to complete a mandatory work placement for a minimum of 70 hours over 2 years. Additionally, students who are TAFE and seniors are able to engage in work placement to help them develop the skills and understanding of various industries. 

Mid Coast Connect coordinates work placements for the following VET courses:
  • Automotive
  • Business Services
  • Construction
  • Electrotechnology
  • Entertainment
  • Financial Services
  • Hospitality
  • Human Services
  • Information and Digital Technology
  • Manufacturing and Engineering
  • Primary Industries
  • Retail Services
  • Travel, Tourism, and Events
  • Plumbing
  • Furniture Making
  • Fitness
  • Animal Studies
  • Early Childhood Education and Care
  • Sport Coaching

The coordination of work placement is funded by the State of New South Wales through its Department of Education under the Work Placement Coordination Program and in conjunction with schools administered by Catholic Schools NSW and the Association of Independent Schools of NSW.
