Work Placement Calendar Request

2021 has again 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 2022, 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 2022 will be offered placements from Term 2 - Week 1 until Term 3, Week 6. Students continuing in Year 12 in 2022 will be offered placements in Term 4 (of 2022) through to Term 2, Week 10. Priority will be placed on Year 12 completion of work placements in 2022 which may also include split shifts, special projects and other agreed modes of work placement. In the event a return to block release is able to be considered, precedented data on dates (drawn from 2019) will be considered. Support for Board Endorsed Courses which have a mandatory Work Placement component will also be in place. Please refer to the noted section. The same conditions will apply for BEC work placements in 2022. Please indicate in the relative column whether it is School Delivered BEC, TAFE or Other RTO. If we need more details, the team will be in touch.

Before you proceed, please ensure you have the following details ready for submission as part of your 2022 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.
