Recruiting our graduates

What opportunities can we offer employers? 

We aim to have our graduates job-ready so that they can be the right fit for your business. Our students learn in a hands-on environment, ensuring that they have industry-ready skills that prepare them for entering the workforce. We can help you to find students and recent graduates that are looking to complete either a work placement, work experience, graduate program, collaboration project or volunteer opportunities through an employer of their chosen field. Many of our graduates complete their studies at two points of the year, either in June or in November.

Work placement

Students that undertake a work placement are still currently completing their study at SM TAFE. These students have a work placement unit requirement to complete before they are eligible to graduate.

These students are insured by SM TAFE for the duration of the placement.

Work experience

Students completing a work experience placement that are not part of the requirements of their course are not insured by SM TAFE.
