What are the objectives of Work Based Learning?
The Banyule & Nillumbik LLEN School to Work Program aims to assist local senior secondary school students (usually Year 10, 11 & 12) find a suitable host employer who can provide a work placement that aligns with the student’s Vocational Educational & Training (VET) Certificate.
The placement offers students an opportunity to experience on the job training in their chosen field of work and an understanding of how a future workplace operates. The placement can be either one day a week for an agreed period (usually 10 weeks) or a one-week block.
