Review your placement and plan your next step

What is going on

Your placement at the hub is nearly finished. Marcus Delaney, the Centre Manager, wants to meet you on Thursday to talk about how it went and what you will do next. Your notes in the Learner Register show your attendance, the tasks you have done and the feedback from your coordinator. The job board in the computer room lists local jobs, including a cafe assistant at a bakery in Frankston, a retail assistant at a hardware store in Carrum Downs and a grounds assistant with the council. Amrit Gill will help you update your resume. Marcus wants you to come with three things you did well, two things to work on and two jobs you could apply for.

Your brief

Reflect honestly on your placement using your Learner Register notes and coordinator feedback, choose two jobs from the job board that match your skills and interests, update your resume with what you have learned at the hub, and take part in a review meeting where you talk about your next step.

Work through it

You do not need to do it all. Doing a few of these will show you what the work is like. Your ticks and notes stay on this device.

• Read your entries in the Learner Register and the feedback from your coordinator, and write down three things you did well with an example of each from your placement.
• Write down two things you want to get better at and what you will do about each one, such as more practice on the coffee machine or a digital skills class.
• Read the job board in the computer room and choose two jobs that match what you can do and what you want, writing down for each the tasks, hours and how to apply.
• Read the Inclusion, Respect and Code of Conduct Policy and pick two things from the code of conduct that an employer would want to know you can do, with an example from your placement.
• Update your resume with Amrit's help, adding your placement, the tasks you did and the skills you used, and save it in the computer room in your folder.
• Meet Marcus on Thursday, talk through your three strengths, two areas to improve and two jobs, and ask him at least one question about the next step.
• After the meeting, write a short plan with the steps you will take in the next four weeks, including who will help you, and add the first step to the Task Board with a date.

What someone in this role would produce
