Anyone work in IT in Sydney?
I teach in Parramatta, and due to the work placement people we are stuck with 'moving' office, I'm trying to place about 8 year 11 kids for a weeks
placement. They are doing IT VET, which is Certificate 2.
It's in about 3/4 weeks time. They come fully insured with workers comp etc., which is all organised by the Dept of Education. They don't get paid
of course and not allowed to 'sell'.
They can do stuff like set up PCs, networks, update software, install stuff, change printer toners and can make the usual stuff in MS Office.
As these kids are more likely to go on to TAFE than Uni, they do 'hands on' stuff rather than theory type stuff.
Any office that can use or make room for someone to do some IT based work (doesn't need to be TECH only) - they can go to printers and any office
that has some IT going on ... then perhaps you might help me out ...
They don't drive, so most get the train/bus.
Please send me a PM if you can help me get these kids into the real world for a week.
