18.01.2022 Youth Express coordinate work placements for students from 26 high schools in the Hunter Valley each year including Muswellbrook High School Official. This week Bengalla are hosting two such students, Aiden and Justin, as part of the electrotechnology VET courses they are studying for the NSW Higher School Certificate. As part of their 35 hours of work placement they have been given the opportunity to work across various areas onsite to assist with the practical component of their studies. Jane Thompson from Youth Express said, It is great that Bengalla are supporting senior high school students in their chosen vocational subject area and their HSC. It gives the students real life workplace experience and employers the opportunity to identify potential apprentices. #workplacement #workskills #workexperience #supportingyoungpeople
