School to Work Program

The Work to School (S2W) Program is on-the-job training that allows school students to develop their work skills and understand employer expectations. S2W is available to Victorian school students undertaking a Vocational Education and Training (VET) program as part of their VCE or VM studies, including School-based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBATs).

While students are on work placement, they are undergoing vocational education and training with a registered training provider which enables them to gain qualifications and specific skills to help them in the workplace.

The Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) Portal has been established in conjunction with the Department of Education and Training.  This website provides school teachers and students with an easy-to-navigate, single information and referral point for a diverse range of high-quality SWL placement opportunities. The website is searchable by industry and location. 

See the video clip produced by Goulburn Murray LLEN for an explanation of Structured Workplace Learning and how to access the SWL Online Portal to find SWL placements.
