Vocational Placement
All students will be required to complete either a Vocational placement Log Book or if an Existing worker, a Workplace log book of at least 120 hours of direct care within an approved aged care facility or community services organization. MySkill has a partnership with leading Aged Care Providers with whom we will coordinate your placement. For those who do not wish to attend MySkill’s selected placement, you will have the opportunity, in coordination with MySkill to source your own alternative vocational work placement location.
It is a requirement to obtain security clearance* before you can commence your placement.
Vocational placement is structured workplace learning; a vocational placement student log book is developed to support you to meet the requirements of all tasks to be completed during your placement. Vocational Placement is an important part of the program that has been designed for students to apply the theoretical knowledge gained to a practical level in a workplace environment. This practical approach to learning will prepare students to ease into 120 hours of on-the-job training required to gain the qualification. All students undertaking vocational placement will be required to organize their own transportation to and from the vocational placement host organization’s facility.
*Security Clearances: Some qualifications require a security clearance (e.g., police check, valid blue card and/or yellow card) in order for the student to be eligible to undertake practical and/or vocational placement. Additionally, individual host organizations may have different requirements regarding vaccinations. Please discuss these with our Administration Team during the enrolment process and/or refer to the MySkill website for more information. Please note there are mandatory vaccination requirements within each state and it is up to the student to ensure they are complying with their own state, territory legislation and workplace organization policies and procedures.
