Richmond High School conducts a continuous release work experience program for Year 9 to Year 12 students throughout Term 1 to Term 4.
The employer and the student work together to determine the dates for work experience. The flexibility of this program allows students to organise work experience at a time convenient with the participating employer. The days spent on the job can also be negotiated. Students can attend one day per week through to a full week or more. The experience can be tailored to achieve maximum benefit for the student.
