At the International College of Victoria (ICV), we are dedicated to providing you with the practical experience needed to excel in your chosen field. A key component of this commitment is our Work Placement (WP) program, which offers you the invaluable opportunity to apply your skills in a real-world professional setting.
We believe that sourcing your own Work Placement is a developmental exercise that builds confidence and networking skills. Therefore, we strongly encourage all students to proactively seek out and secure their own placements. This independent approach allows you to find a host organization that aligns perfectly with your career aspirations and personal interests.
To support you in this endeavor, ICV provides comprehensive guidance and assistance. Our dedicated team will equip you with the necessary tools and resources to identify suitable opportunities and present yourself professionally to potential employers.
In cases where students face challenges in securing a placement independently, ICV will leverage its extensive network of industry partnerships to facilitate a suitable placement.
For instances where a placement cannot be secured through our direct partnerships, we engage the specialized services of trusted third-party providers, SkilTrak and/or The Learning Collaborative (TLC), to ensure every student has access to a quality work placement opportunity. A fee of $190 will be applicable for placements arranged through these external partners. This fee covers the administrative and service costs associated with their comprehensive placement services.
Our primary goal is to ensure every ICV student gains the vital industry experience needed for a successful career transition. We are committed to working together with you to achieve this milestone.
Additonal Note – students MUST obtain a Police Check before commencing the workplacement.
Prospective students can apply for recognition of their existing skills and knowledge that is relevant to the units of competence within the program. These skills and knowledge may have been obtained through workplace training or experience and may reduce the number of units required to be completed during the qualification. Students are recommended to notify ICV of their interest or intention to apply for RPL prior to their enrollment.
