Work Placements

Placements in the workplace are available in a variety of settings. Any employer who is actively engaged with delivery of Careerforce qualifications can be approached to assist with a work placement. Such employers will usually have in house assessors who may be able to provide an assessment service for a negotiated fee. Careerforce can often identify an external assessor for workplaces with no in house assessor.
