On-the-job training
for students.
Our free SWL placement service connects students with employers for an agreed period of days or weeks. The only cost to the employer is $5 per day, with insurance covered by the Victorian Government.
SWL placements are incredibly valuable for students when it comes to seeking future employment. Students who undertake an SWL placement:
