ACQ Workplace Experience Program

As a student support initiative, we provide a Workplace Experience Program to assist adult students of our College, who are 16 to 70 years and living in Australia, to gain real experience that will enhance their career or return-to-work opportunities.

The ACQ Workplace Experience Program covers both accredited and non-accredited courses and covers the student for 1 to 15 days of workplace experience consecutively or spread over a 12 month period.

Our College Workplace Experience Program involves providing practical and relevant experience in the workplace, in an area related to their field of study. This provides our students with the opportunity to:

• transfer the knowledge and skills gained through their course of studies to a 'real' work situation
• gain industry specific employment experience and ask questions about working in the industry
• improve their practical communication skills within the area of study
• develop contacts with potential employers and those in the industry
• include the workplace experience on their resume
• gain a Statement of Workplace Experience or verbal referee that they are able to provide to potential employers.
  

Australian College QED has an Australia-wide blanket insurance policy that provides personal accident insurance across all states and territories of Australia.
