Schools can connect with clubs via their Work Placement Service Providers (WPSP). If you are not sure who your WPSP is, you can find them on the Workplace Learning (WLN) website.

Interested schools will complete an expression of interest (EOI) and send it to the ClubEDU Coordinator, Beth Beatty at Western Student Connections (See contact details above) AND their WPSP.

The WPSP will follow their normal work placement processes to contact the local club(s) and confirm the work placement opportunity.
Each WPSP will have their own system of notifying schools of successful EOIs, in collaboration with the ClubEDU Coordinator, Beth Beatty.

Once confirmed, the school and club representatives will sign the ClubEDU Agreement, to commit to the duration and expectations of the program for each cohort of students. Once an agreement has been signed, the WPSP will confirm the placement and produce the necessary work placement documentation, including the Student Placement Record (SPR).

The WPSP will send work placement documentation to the school, with normal school work placement procedures following, to obtain all signatures on the SPR and provide copies of the SPR to all relevant parties.

The teacher may then contact the Club to organise the ClubEDU activities, including:

• Student workplace induction
• Planning day and ClubEDU student restaurant date
• Any additional events including master classes

Work Placement coordination is the responsibility of the Work Placement Service Provider (WPSP). Student Placement Records (SPR) must be completed for this work placement. The WPSP will prepare the necessary documentation for the planned work placement opportunity and provide it to the school hospitality teacher.

Work Placement within the ClubEDU program will include the student Workplace Induction, 3 days placement, function planning day and student restaurant.

Clubs and schools will determine the program of events according to local requirements. NOTE: The Hospitality teacher can attend the function planning day and student restaurant. (this will count towards maintaining industry currency and teacher identified NESA accreditation requirements).

Variations: will depend on club facilities and the number of students in the cohort.

Suggested itinerary and timeline (note this may occur over several terms)

Students work with the chef at the school or at the club and prepare a three-course meal and serve to family, friends, teachers and club patrons. Tickets sold to cover cost of food or could act as a fund raiser for the school. Two days including function planning and function may be combined with the enhanced work placement.
