At Thomas Hassall Anglican College, we believe that education extends beyond the classroom.
We are committed to providing our students with opportunities that prepare them for the real world, and vocational education and training (VET) is a crucial part of this mission. As we strive to offer our students hands-on experience in their chosen fields, we are reaching out to our parent community to ask for your invaluable support as work placement providers.
Why Your Involvement Matters
- Real-World Experience - By becoming a work placement provider for our VET students in Construction, Entertainment, and Business Services, you offer them a unique chance to apply their classroom knowledge in practical settings. This real-world experience is instrumental in bridging the gap between theory and practice, providing our students with insights that textbooks alone cannot offer.
- Skill Development - Work placements allow students to develop essential skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and communication. These placements also foster a professional mindset and work ethic, equipping students with the competencies needed to thrive in their future careers.
- Community Building - Your participation strengthens the bond between the school and the wider community. It showcases our collective commitment to nurturing the next generation of professionals, contributing to a supportive and thriving local economy. By working together, we create a network of mentorship and support that benefits everyone involved.
Benefits for you
- Mentorship Opportunities - As a work placement provider, you have the chance to mentor and inspire young minds. Sharing your expertise and experience can have a profound impact on a student's career trajectory and personal development.
- Family Engagement - Engaging with the school through work placements allows your family to take an active role in students' educational journey. It fosters a sense of pride and involvement in the growth and success of our future leaders.
- Giving Back - Providing work placements is a meaningful way to give back to the community. Your contribution can help shape the careers and lives of students, leaving a legacy of support and encouragement.
How to Get Involved
Becoming a VET work placement provider is straightforward and rewarding. If you or your business can offer placements in Construction, Entertainment, or Business Services, we would love to hear from you. Your involvement would require a week-long placement depending on your capacity and resources.
