About Workplace Learning This guide introduces you and your staff to the concepts of workplace learning. It explains the workplace learning program running in NSW schools, the support available to employers and your roles and responsibil ities when hosting students in your workplace. It also includes a handy checklist for employers, both large and small, to help guide you through the workplace learning process.

What is workplace learning?

Workplace learning programs form part of the NSW secondary curriculum. They enable students

to spend a planned period of time (usually a week) in the workplace, gaining practical experience, assisting their career choices and building their

industry skills.

Workplace learning is available to students aged 14 years and older. Students are generally placed

in an industry of their choice, reflecting the type of

work they plan to do after completing their studies. For some students workplace learning is their first

experience of a workplace.

What kinds of workplace learning programs are there? NSW secondary schools offer two main types of workplace learning program. Work experience and mandatory work placement for students studying Higher School Certificate

(HSC) Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses.

Work Experience

These programs are usually undertaken by students in Years 1 0 and 11 with some opportunities in Year 12 (depending on the school's Career program).

Work experience provides a general introduction to the 'world of work'.

Young people are able to:

Observe a variety of work being done

Undertake supervised work appropriate to their skill level

Ask questions about the workplace

Gain general skills related to being at work

Learn how enterprises work and how to be enterprising

Complete course assignments relevant to the industry or workplace

Find out about training and employment opportunities

Fine tune their aspirations and career and transition planning.

The Workplace Learning Guide for Employers

HSC VET Work Placement

Work placement programs are intended for students enrolled in a HSC industry recognised course which is delivered by the school.

Work placement ensures that these students spend a period of time as voluntary workers in a relevant workplace. Employers supervise the students as they practice and extend the specific industry skills they have learned in their course work.

During their work placement, students work

towards gaining industry competencies. Their VET Trainers in consultation with the host employer assess them and in some cases so does a qualified workplace assessor. Students achieving competency receive an industry specific VET qualification that is recognised throughout Australia.

Work placement is a COMPULSORY HSC requirement for the following courses:

Business Services

Construction

Electrotechnology

Entertainment Industry

Hospitality

Information and Digital Technology

Primary Industries

Metal and Engineering

Page 6: ·V&ROOHJH Campbelltown Work Experience Program€¦ · Work Experience These programs are usually undertaken by students in Years 1 0 and 11 with some opportunities in Year 12 (depending

How long will the student spend in your workplace?

This varies however, students usually spend a

week with an employer. Some students come to a workplace for half or one day per week for an extended period of time. HSC VET students are required to complete two weeks of work placement over two years, each week with a

different employer.

The Benefits for Employers

Hosting students allows you to:

Participate in the education, career development and vocational training of young people in your community

Talk to students about your industry, career

paths and future directions

Promote the attitudes and skills you want in your workforce

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

Provide students with knowledge of the value of work and raise the quality of those entering

into your industry.

HoLJ does LJorkplace learning LJork? Who organises the programs and work placements?

In the case of work experience, students may make their own approach to an employer for a workplace position and then submit the position to their school for approval. For VET HSC work placements, the approach may come from a Work Placement Service Provider (WPSP) who is funded to negotiate and coordinate these mandatory placements between schools and employers.

When can workplace learning occur?

Workplace learning is usually scheduled on weekdays during the school terms. This can be varied for individual students in Years 11 and 12 with the approval of their school Principal.

Restrictions apply to younger students in work experience programs. Students in Year 1 0 cannot undertake workplace learning during school holidays. Students under 15 years cannot work before 7am or after 6pm.

Who has duty of care?

The school, private or community registered training organisation along with the school, maintains a duty of care to students undertaking workplace learning. They are each responsible for deciding if placements are suitable, preparing

students for workplace learning, monitoring the student's progress and welfare during the placement and following up with them immediately

afterwards. It is the responsibility of the host employer to provide a safe workplace environment and appropriate supervision for the student. Host employers must report WHS issues or concerns to

the school. Parents and carers are required to be or to nominate an alternative emergency contact for any emergencies that occur outside normal

business hours. See Accidents & Emergencies page 10 of this guide.

BEFORE THE PLACEMENT

Host employers receive workplace learning guidelines.

Workplace positions are negotiated with employers and submitted to the school

for approval. Arrangements are confirmed to support student safety.

Students are matched to a position based on their course work and/or career

planning. Their parents or carers sign off on the arrangements.

Teachers conduct activities to prepare students for the experience.

DURING THE PLACEMENT

Students attend the workplace everyday of the program.

Host employers or nominated workplace personnel supervise the students in the workplace, providing tasks that are appropriate and at times, challenging for the

student.

The employer and workplace supervisor take action to provide a safe working

environment, in accordance with the requirements of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW), child protection and anti discrimination legislation.

Teachers make a supervisory visit or phone call to the employer and the student

to check on their progress and welfare. Where relevant, students are assessed

for industry-based competencies.

Host employers report any incidents involving the student to the school.

AFTER THE PLACEMENT

Students record their experiences and review their career preferences and training pathways.

Host employers report on the student's performance in the workplace.

Teachers immediately follow up with the students to ensure maximum benefit and check on student safety.

Employers please share tips for success:

Engage the student straight away as the first

hour can set the tone for the week.

Talk to the student so they understand their

safety rights and responsibilities.

Talk with the student about their current schoolwork so you can set the work at the

right skill level for them.

Consider hosting students in pairs to give

them buddy support to solve problems and get the work done.

Busy students tend to be happier and learn more.

Have a reserve list of jobs for them to do.

Debrief with the student at the end of each

day and plan tomorrow's work.

Working together: the workplace learning partnership

Workplace learning programs are a partnership .

between educators, employers, students, and their parents or carers. We seek the input and approval of all parties in the arrangement of

placements, with every party agreeing to certain roles and responsibilities.

Central to this process is the Student Placement

Record, a form that records contact details,

arrangements and approvals relating to the student's placement. Once everyone has

completed their section of the form, copies are held by the school , host employer, student and

the parent or carer, as well as the private or community registered training organisation if applicable.

The Student Placement Record also records information regarding any disability, learning

and support needs, medical condition, allergy

or restriction ·that may affect the safety and supervision of the student in the workplace. It will

indicate if employers need to make adjustments to accommodate a student's additional support

needs or disability.

What ore the legal requirements and paperwork?

Are the students paid?

No. Students on placement are classified as 'voluntary workers' and host employers are not

required to make any payment to them under the Federal or State award covering their industry, the NSW Annual Holidays Act or Workers Compensation Act. Any payment to the student may invalidate the insurance and indemnity arrangements.

The one exception is where the student uses their

part-time employment as part of their mandatory HSC VET work placement requirement. In this case, the student is not a voluntary worker and the insurance arrangements of the employer apply to the student. This arrangement must be negotiated with the employer and approved by the school prior to the formal placement period.

Do I have to sign any documents?

Yes. Each student is issued with a Student Placement Record to document the arrangements for their placement. This IMPORTANT form allows for information to be shared and approved by all parties; the student, their parenVcarer, the host employer and the school.

As an employer, you will be asked to record your workplace details, the student's working hours, arrangements for their supervision, the activities they will undertake during their placement, any pre-training required and the measures you are taking to enable them to do the work safely.

Parents and students must also provide their consent, emergency contacts and detai ls of any disability or additional support needs the chi ld may have.The student's school must then approve the placement as described.

Once all parties have provided and approved the information on the Student Placement Record, the Catholic Education Office's insurance and indemnity arrangements for you and the student

are in place. A full copy of the Student Placement Record with the approval will be provided to you before the placement starts. In the case of

mandatory HSC VET work placements, a Work Placement Service Provider (WPSP) can help streamline this process for you.

Page 10: ·V&ROOHJH Campbelltown Work Experience Program€¦ · Work Experience These programs are usually undertaken by students in Years 1 0 and 11 with some opportunities in Year 12 (depending

Are there any other conditions?

Participating students must be aged 14 years or over

Students under 15 years cannot work before ?am or after 6pm

No student can be directed to carry out any task that is not safe or is high risk

Employers and employees must respect

the rights of students to a safe and healthy host workplace, free from harassment,

discrimination and any conduct that is unacceptable in terms of child protection

Host employers are expected to consult and cooperate with the student's school under the

Work Health and safety Act 2011 (NSW)

Host employers must notify the school immediately of any health and safety incidents involving a student while on placement, including near misses, to enable CEO

Wollongong to fulfill its WHS obligations and support a safe placement.

What about insurance?

Insurance and indemnity requirements are

arranged by the Catholic Education Commission

(NSW).

A copy of the insurance cover for workplace

learning wi ll be provided for your information. All claims for injury, loss or damage to property should in the fi rst instance be referred to the student's school.

The Catholic Education Office, Wollongong arranges for the purchase of this insurance

annually on behalf of all Diocese of Wollongong secondary schools and VET Delivery Sites under

the Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

This policy covers students for personal injury sustained whilst engaged in work experience/

placement activities. Students are also covered whilst travelling to and from workplaces.

Will my business need to change its insurance arrangements?

No, as long as you follow the requirements in the

guide, you will not need to change your insurance or WorkCover arrangements when taking on a

student under a workplace learning program.

You are expected to have current public liability coverage as is standard business practice. If you are a private or commun ity registered training organisation, arranging workplace­

learning activities for students within your own

organisation, your company's own insurance and indemnity arrangements will apply.

a life threatening condition and always requires an emergency response. If the student shows any of the following signs, contact emergency

services and take action in accordance with the ASCIA action plan to administer the adrenaline

auto-injector. (Instructions on how to administer

Providing a safe l!Jorkplace How can I make my place safe for students?

Before any placement can be approved, employers need to satisfy the school that they can provide a safe and healthy host workplace for students,

compliant with the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and anti-discrimination legislation.

You will be asked to provide information on the Student Placement Record.

You will need to indicate upfront:

Are there any activities prohibited for workplace learning students?

Yes. Some activities are completely prohibited e.g. working on a roof, while others have conditions attached. These are restrictions on the operation of machinery and equipment, the service of

alcohol, work on construction sites and adventure or sporting activities in industries like tourism.

Students are not al lowed to undertake activities requiring a license (e.g. a driver's licence), permit or certificate of competence unless they already hold the relevant license, certificate or permit. Even then, the activity must relate directly to the learning activities of the placement. Employers

must list these activities on the Student Placement Record prior to approval.

Some higher risk industries will require the students to undertake training prior to their work

placement. For example, all students attending workplace learning in the construction industry must complete the WHS Construction Induction

training as a prerequisite to placement. Employers must list these activities on the Student Placement Record prior to approval.

Note that students are not expected to drive their own vehicles whilst undertaking activities on behalf of the host employer.

12 The Wakploce Learng Gude fa Employers

CHILD PROT€CTION Your Responsibilities Working with children and young people is very rewarding. However, to ensure the safety and welfare of young people in your workplace, you and your staff must comply with a few simple rules.

It is your responsibility as the employer to ensure that your staff knows how to conduct themselves appropriately with children and young people. They must avoid any conduct that could make a young person feel threatened or coerced. This could include initiation activities, inappropriate conversations, remarks or jokes of a sexual nature; the showing of sexually suggestive publications. electronic media or illustrations and any unwarranted and/or inappropriate touching or personal communication with students regarding their sexual feelings.

As an employer, you will be asked to indicate on the Stud~nt Placement Record that, to your knowledge, there is nothing in the background of any staff member or person in close contact with the student that would make them unsuitable for working with children. This includes texting or using social media.

Host employers must report any allegations against an employee in the area of child protection to the Principal of the school. Child protection legislation requires that allegations about employee conduct be reported to the NSW Ombudsman. Allegations involving suspected abuse, harm or risk of significant harm to the student must also be reported to the Department of Community Services and in some cases, to the NSW Police.
