Swan Hill Rural City Council offers a range of workplace learning for local students. This provides a chance to work closely with the community and experience real-life work environments.
Council offers three kinds of workplace learning:
- Work experience
Short-term placement for secondary school students. It provides insights into a particular industry. Students work for one week observe and learn. They will not undertake activities that need extensive training or experience.
- Structured workplace learning
Secondary school students can undertake structured on–the-job training. They are expected to master a designated set of skills and competencies. The length of the placement varies depending on individual and school needs.
- Practical placements
Post-secondary VET or Tertiary courses may require practical placement as part of a course. The goal of this is to develop job-related skills in the student’s area of study.

What happens next?
We are happy to help with work experience opportunities when we can. We carefully consider each request. However, we may not always be able to provide placements for students. This depends on the availability of suitable work and the presence of an employee to supervise the student.
Someone from our Human Resources team will get in touch with you within two weeks of receiving your request.
