FOR SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS

Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) broadens the curriculum available to senior secondary school students and builds positive connections between schools, community and industry.

FOR HOST EMPLOYEES

Looking for employees of the future? Want to promote the employment potential in your industry to young people? Get involved with SWL.

A key component of VET programs is SWL, which is on-the-job training during which a school student is expected to master a set of skills or competencies related to their VET program. Host employers supervise and instruct the students as they practise and extend the industry skills they have learned in their VET programs.

Becoming a host employer for SWL is a great opportunity for you to:

participate in the education, career development and training of young people in your community
talk to students about your industry, its career paths and future directions
promote the attitudes and skills you want in your workforce and identify young people with potential for your industry
strengthen your links with the community and raise your business profile
increase the supervisory, training and mentoring skills of your staff.
