Welcome to the Wyndham City Structured Workplace Learning - Year 11 & 12 Placement Program.
All Year 11 and 12 student placement applications are currently closed via this page. We have currently introduced a hybrid model of working in which staff are working remotely and on site intermittently making practical on-site placements difficult to facilitate.
However, we have partnered with WynBay Local Learning and Employment Network (LLEN) to create opportunities for structured workplace learning and are taking limited applications where departments can accommodate a placement. To find out more, contact WynBay LLEN.
We will update this page on Council’s direction to resume services and provide updates on the re-opening of applications in the future.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Should you have any questions, please email work.experience@wyndham.vic.gov.au.
We wish you all the best with your future endeavours.

Structured workplace learning (SWL) provides students with the opportunity to integrate on-the-job experience with secondary study. It is delivered to master a set of skills or competencies related to a course accredited by the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) or the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), and undertaken as part of either their VCE or their VCAL.
Council has partnered with WynBay Local Learning and Employment Network (LLEN) to create opportunities for SWL placements. The placement can be a two-week block or one day a week for the full term with the aim to complete up to 80 hours (this can be flexible and discussed with your school).
Talk to your school Coordinator or click on the links below to find out more.

How to apply
- Complete the online SWL Request Form (link to form).
- Once this form is received, we will coordinate your placement with the requested area of Council within 5-7 business days.
Note: Wyndham City will accept applications throughout the year with priority given to students who either live or go to school within Wyndham. Due to high demand for placements, limited resources or workload of the Department, unfortunately it is not always possible to place all students.
