Work Placement Calendar Request

2020 has been a challenging year and in particular to the process of Work Placement Coordination. 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. This aligns with current school operating guidelines, NSW Public Health advice, and also reduces the general community exposure a student would undertake as a result of Work Placement. Whilst we are still unclear about the future situation for 2021, we anticipate continuing with this strategy until further notice.

What this means is that in the following Request process; **ALL PLACEMENTS WILL BE BASED ON STAGGERED/PROGRESSIVE RELEASE - that is no block dates** Students commencing in Year 11 in 2021 will be offered placements from Term 2 - Week 1 until Term 3, Week 6. Students continuing in Year 12 in 2021 will be offered placements in Term 4 (of 2020) through to Term 2, Week 10. In the event a return to block release is able to be considered, precedented data on dates will be considered. Additionally, in 2021 support will be provided for Board Endorsed Courses which have a mandatory Work Placement component. Please refer to the noted section. The same conditions will apply for BEC work placements in 2021.

Before you proceed, please ensure you have the following details ready for submission as part of your 2020 Work Placement Calendar Request; **VET Coordinator details **School Principal Details **Career Advisor Details **Details for all classes including vocation, estimated class number, teacher details **Details of UNAVAILABLE weeks for placement so that offers are not used at this time. A copy of your submission will be emailed to you at the end of this request form. Please note: no details are confirmed until receipt of the confirmation email.

These details are collected to ensure that appropriate communication channels are established. These details are retained for use by the staff of the BEN and the Work Placement Support Programme provider network.
