In 2018 more than a hundred Year 10 to 12 students enrolled in a popular on-the-job program at SIDE that can be used as part of WACE. The workplaces are diverse and many are located within or near students’ communities.
Workplace Learning is an endorsed program managed by specialist SIDE staff who help students enrol in the course, complete the required course activities, assist in identifying suitable workplaces and jobs, and visit and monitor student progress throughout the year.
