These are work experience resources from around Australia which may be helpful for educators who organise work experience.
Victorian Work Experience Manual
This is a 65 page manual. It is based on Victorian laws and policies which are similar to ours, but you will need to map differences if you adapt templates.
The Victorians are so thorough. The manual and website cover issues like:
- Age of students doing work experience, time spent, hours and conditions.
- Roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders
- There are sample forms that you can adapt.
- Legal issues like Working With Children checks, OSH, privacy, equal opportunity.
- Special conditions like working with animals and construction induction training.
- There are sample evaluation forms.
- To top it off there is a checklist for teachers.
