I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1) Yes.
(2)–(3)
Some students arrange the work placement to suit their own circumstances.
Alternatively, the work placement is organised by the TAFE. However, where this
is not able to occur, simulated work environments can potentially be delivered
at the college.
