Year 10 Work Engagement

Thank you to all students who have submitted their Student Placement Record as a PDF on Lampada and completed the online form with employer details. Also, thank you to those parents who are supporting the programme and are able to offer placements to students for the week. It can be challenging to secure a position, particularly with employees working from home, so it is greatly appreciated.

Completed Student Placement Records are due on 31 August. They require sections to be completed by the parent/carer, student, school and the host employer. As the form needs to be sent to the host employer to be completed and then received back, it can take a couple of weeks for this to occur. Therefore, students are encouraged to send the Student Placement Record to employers as soon as possible to meet the required deadline. This is a legal document, and no student will be able to participate in the programme without a completed Student Placement Record.

Students undertaking the Macquarie University Business Week have been emailed the Employer Section of the Student Placement Record. Once the parent/carer section and the student sections have been completed, the form can be uploaded onto Lampada.

For those students who have registered for White Card and Barista training, a reminder that they will need to secure three days of work engagement from Wednesday to Friday of the Work Engagement week and upload a Student Placement Record for those days.

Further details and where to upload paperwork are available here: Lampada – Work Engagement.

Work Engagement is such a wonderful opportunity to explore future pathways and experience the world of work. Students can meet and have conversations with professionals and gather career stories. Experiencing the ‘end career product’ before embarking on further education greatly assists in the decision-making process, particularly as courses cost significant amounts of money and take time.

Upcoming events, information sessions and further information on post-school options are available on the Careers News page on Lampada.

Please don’t hesitate to contact the Careers Team if you have any questions careers@shore.nsw.edu.au.
