Learning outcomes
Structured Workplace Learning (SWL)
SWL is not mandated in this program, though the VCAA strongly recommend all VET students undertake some work placement. For the unit SITHCCC011 Use cookery skills effectively, in the second year of the program students are required to complete 12 service sessions for various service styles and complete a log book. It is good for the students to complete some of this in the workplace to strengthen experience, provide practical experience and knowledge within the workplace and provide exposure to workplace situations and experiences. This can however be completed in the restaurant classes at Chisholm. The VCAA strongly recommend 20 days SWL for this program
