MWLP provides a brokerage service that allows 6,000-7,000 HSC students a year to participate in two weeks of learning in the workplace during Years 11 & 12.

By being involved in Work Placement, young people gain a better understanding of the world of work and are given a chance to develop their technical and general employability skills in the workforce.

MWLP is funded by the NSW Government to provide this service.

VETsteddFOOD

In 2019, we needed to fill a gap in Work Placement opportunities for Entertainment students – the team brainstormed ideas and VETsteddFOOD was born.

VETsteddFOOD is a unique event – a 2 course lunch and show for local seniors, run entirely by VET students, supervised by MWLP staff.   

Hospitality students prepare, cook and serve main meals and desserts, while Entertainment students manage a variety of primary and high school performers on stage. Construction students design and build stage props, while Business Services and Events students sell tickets and take care of the behind-the-scenes administration tasks.

Since it’s inception VETsteddFOOD has provided :

  • A Work Placement experience for 128 HSC students
  • 228 live performance opportunities for local primary and high school students
  • A 2-course lunch for 1,550 local seniors and community groups

“I’d like to pass on our thank you to you and your amazing team for putting on a successful VETsteddFOOD event this week. Our staff and residents have expressed what a well organised event it was with excellent food, great entertainment and wonderful hospitality. Thank you for making it a special day for our residents and we look forward to attending any future events you may have.”

The purpose of our Youth’ank Hub is to provide a way for local Business Services students to complete their mandatory 35 hours of work placement. This project has the added benefits of serving the local community through existing charity organisations as well as giving students community service experience.
