Student (Vocational) Placements  

Student placements, which are known as 'vocational placements' under the Fair Work Act, provide students with the opportunity to apply the theory and skills they learned while studying in a professional workplace. 

Under these arrangements students can gain the skills they need to transition successfully from study to work, while giving industry the opportunity to enrich student learning experiences and increase the number of work-ready graduates. 

We have several vocational placements to offer. To express your interest, email workexperience@mrsc.vic.gov.au with details of your placement requirements.
