Are you an employer who could host a student on a work placement?

Monday, May 28, 2012

The Geelong Regional Vocational Education Council Inc (GRVEC)* is looking for businesses that are interested in supporting a young person’s search for a career by hosting a student for a work placement.

Hosting students means-

·         Giving young people some industry training

·         Promoting your industry to young people

·         Helping to train the workforce of the future

·         Building your social capital

·         Identifying possible future employees

·         Building the mentoring skills of your existing employees

Schools cover the insurance of students on work placement and the only cost to employers is a payment of $5 a day. (Exemptions apply)

If you would like to know more or want to register your interest please contact Kylie Fox on 52228522 or email kylie @grvec.org.au.
