Work Placement II (2008)

For all Year 3 students who will embark on the second work placement, here are documents you need.

In this pack, you will find:
- A letter which you will send to the host firm to support your application for a placement.
- Guidelines to surpervisors (to be attached to letter to host firm)
- A work placement form (to be attached to letter to host firm) which they need to fill in when they agree to give accomodate you. The filled form should be given or sent to me before placement begins (so I can approve the placement)
- An evaluation form (to be attached to letter to host firm) which they need to fill in and send back to me after you have completed the placement
- Guidelines on the placement and report (to be kept by yourself for your reference)
- A letter to your present employer to request release in order to complete the placement.

The two letters need to be signed by me. You should let me know when you want to come to the Faculty to collect signed copies.

Good luck to all!

A note about the Work Report
The Work Report may be done in replacement of Work Placement 2. It can only be done if you are working in a field relevant to your studies and specialisation. For example, you may choose to do the Work Report if you work as a journalist in a local newspaper and are enrolled in the Journalism stream. You cannot do a Work Report if you are a clerk in a newspaper. Also, since the Work Report carries only 2 credits, an elective needs to be done to account for the 5 credits in replacement of Work Placement 2.
However, I would still advise those who qualify for the Work Report to do the placement aas far as possible as it is an extra opportunity to enhance/diversify your skills and knowledge of different working cultures.
