1. Best practice guidelines for vocational placement
The Aged and Community Services SA & NT Inc has developed a set of guidelines and a vocational placement agreement (VPA) to assist RTOs and employers establish high quality vocational placements for students. The Guidelines and VPA are not mandatory, but offered as an 'industry standard' for work placements. RTOs and some universities have started to use these documents that can be modified to suit individual RTO/university requirements.
These resources are available from www.agedcommunity.asn.au and can be used in other industry sectors to aid vocational placements.
