What is the aim of the work-placement stage?
From the Ministry of Education:
The aim of the work-placement stage is to help students construct their occupational identity, adopt behaviors and attitudes required in the workplace and foster their gradual integration into the workforce, by offering them the opportunity to develop work-related competencies in actual work settings. They will also gain a better understanding of employers' requirements and their need for competent, reliable workers. (MEES)
Students' work placements are a valuable part of their CV and demonstrate their ability to strive in the workplace.
