Workplace Practices

Content

Students cultivate a comprehensive knowledge, skill set, and understanding of the workplace's nature, type, and structure. This initiative aims to address the needs of senior students requiring targeted pathway planning to access post-school options. Additionally, it enhances the value for students participating in Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs, as it can be utilized for course assessment purposes.

The learning requirements summarise the knowledge, skills, and understanding students are expected to develop and demonstrate through their learning in Stage 1 Workplace Practices.

In this subject, students are expected to:

• demonstrate knowledge and understanding of industry and work
• develop and apply relevant work skills
• identify and investigate processes and issues related to work, industry, and the workplace
• work independently and with others
• review, and reflect and report on, their experiences, abilities, interests, and aspirations in relation to planning for work and future pathways.
