Workplace Learning

How do I organise work placement?

Step 1: Complete the online Workplace Preparation Program

  1. Create a Plink account here: https://www.plink.sa.edu.au/ilp/pages/signup.jsf
    • Under “select account type” you must select the account type 8 – WorkPRO (students) and then complete the other fields, then select ‘create account’.
    • Students should use their LearnLink email address.
  2. Users are then taken to the WorkPRO dashboard on Plink. Users can then scroll down to see the available WorkPRO courses. Users can select their course:
    • WorkPRO: Full course: 12 modules, must be completed in the year work placement is first undertaken
    • WorkPRO Refresher Modules: 40 multiple choice questions, to be completed each year following the completion of the full WorkPRO course.
  3. Then select ‘Register’. To complete the registration form enter your date of birth, year level, and school site.
  4. Email the completion certificate to denise.parkins945@schools.sa.edu.au
