Hospitality Work Placement Manual
SSV, in partnership with industry bodies Restaurant and Catering Victoria, ALH Group and Crown Melbourne, and training institutes William Angliss Institute, Ascet TAFE, Swinburne University, Ballarat University, Victoria University, Diversitat and East Gippsland Institute of TAFE, have developed a Certificate II Hospitality work placement manual to assist in developing relationships between a student, small business and RTO to establish a successful placement opportunity for a student looking at getting into hospitality. The manuals have been designed for the student and the employer and outline process and procedures, insurance and payment requirements, relevant agreements for parties to sign and a clear outline to an employer of the skills the student will be able to practice in their business.
