WORK EXPERIENCE OPPORTUNITIES
The Skilled Migrant Mentoring Program requires that we try to match our enrolled program participants with suitable work experience opportunities where they can use their qualifications and skills.
Work experience can not only help you in applying for paid employment but can often help you to develop a deeper understanding of the Australian workplace culture.
“The work experience provided by Sydney Community College (at Reed Group) helped me to gain my confidence that I can easily adjust my work habits with the flexible and friendly yet professional Australian work culture”. – Ali Samani, SMMP Participant 2009
When a suitable opportunity arises, we will contact you if we feel that it matches your vocational experience and will be of benefit to you in gaining insight into the local workplace.
If you agree to participate in the work experience, we will ask you to sign a Work Experience Agreement. This outlines statutory information about things such as Occupational Health and Safety, Discrimination, Business Ethics and Sexual Harrassment.
It will also have a page outlining the dates you will undertake work experience, the employer who will be hosting you, and a brief statement of the kinds of duties you will be asked to do. You will need to sign this form and return it to us, so that we can show that you have read and understood your responsibilities to the college, the program and also the employer who will be hosting you.
