Work Experience

Year 10 students should be actively looking for a work experience placement for the Monivae work experience week in Term 2. Each student was given a work experience arrangement form at the end of last year and in Careers classes this year. You can also access these forms at: https://www.monivae.com/learning-teaching/careers-learning-pathways

Key points

• Work experience dates for this year are, May 2-6th.
• Work experience forms and travel forms are due Friday, 25th March. 
• Non-cadets:  must complete work experience during the Cadet Camp week, May 2-6. Students are expected to organise their work experience placement themselves, however parents can play an important role with workplace connections and help make the first approach to a possible employer. 
• Cadets: are encouraged to complete work experience in the Term 1, 2 or 3 holidays. However, in recognition of their commitment to cadets, work experience is not compulsory for these students.

What are the next steps after successfully obtaining a position?

1. Fill out the student and parent/guardian sections of the work experience arrangement form. 
2. Fill out the travel and accommodation form if relevant to your child’s work experience. 
3. Take the forms to the employer to sign.
4. Return the form to the Careers office.
5. Mr Rowe will then sign the form to confirm this placement. (All other signatures must be on the form before his.)
6. You will then receive two copies of the completed form closer to the work experience week: one for you and one for the employer.
