Students studying health and community courses require, as part of the course, professional experience with a host employer applicable to the sector in which students are studying. For example:
A student studying an aged care course will require a work placement at a residential aged care facility.
Students are encouraged and supported to organise their own work placement for their applicable course, however, Hopkins does have Work Placement Officers who can assist with a number of placement options.
Consultation with industry professionals is ongoing and Hopkins has developed and continues to establish a vast network of partnerships with Health and Community Services organisations. Consultation with our industry partners further ensures that the curriculum and simulated learning environments provide current and relevant industry practices for our students assuring they are employment ready.
