Some courses that we offer require you to complete a work placement. A work placement is structured workplace learning that is required as part of the course and prepares you for the workforce. The placement is designed to help you better understand what you have learned in classroom training and provides you with the opportunity to perform tasks relating to your course in an appropriate industry setting.
There are many benefits of participating in a work placement. You will have the opportunity to:
• apply the knowledge and skills learned during your course in a workplace setting
• gain skills that are recognised by industry
• get to know an employer.
Invicta Technical College will assist you to find a work placement, or you may find your own work placement. Our partnered organizations, including Nurtured Beginnings and S Antonio Nursing Village, offer excellent opportunities to apply your skills in real-world settings. Nurtured Beginnings is renowned for its commitment to early childhood education and development, allowing you to gain experience in a nurturing educational environment.

Further information will be provided at your orientation. However, it is important to understand that as a requirement of work placement you will be required to complete a National Police Certificate and some workplaces may require further checks such as working with children and disability worker checks. You will need to pay for these checks yourself and as a guide these checks would be around $50 – $80 each. Further details will be required at orientation.
It is also important to understand that certain workplaces have immunisation requirements. If you have any concerns about these requirements, please speak to us.
