Introduction:
When a student undergoes a Disability Course it is essential to complete a 120-hour placement period for the successful completion of the course. The community services and disability sector is the fastest growing sector for new workforce to join. These sectors are also experiencing the greatest need for new employees. The disability sector is severely lacking in skilled workers, and given the continued demand in these fields, this shortage may worsen in the years to come. After enrolling into a Disability Course and the time for student placement arises, colleges usually fail to bring good industries to the table and students end up finding their practical placements on their own. We at SkilTrak have recognised this market gap and placed students in the industries of their choice for the past 5 years.
What is a Disability Course:
A disability course enables students to work for the betterment of the disabled community, these students are trained to work in different types of settings. These experts are essential in providing training and support that enables people with disabilities to achieve greater degrees of independence and self-sufficiency in the years to come.
Students must have completed at least 120 hours of practical experience in settings related to disability services to be eligible for this certification. Most of the colleges and Training Organisations fail to provide the best placement needed by the student. SkilTrak connects these students to well-renowned industries and provides successful placements in a radius of 20 kilometres.
One of the industries that is growing quickly is community services and the Disability Sector, where there is a noticeable increase in the need for workers. It is recognised that the disability sector lacks qualified workers, and considering the ongoing needs of disability organisations, this shortage is anticipated to continue. Nevertheless, they stand prepared to provide support when required.
Requirements For Disability Course Students Placements:
Before placing a student into any industry we verify some documents. These documents may contain a first aid check, national police check, COVID-19 - 3 dose check, and working with children check, Documents like NDIS and driver's License are also verified by our team. A student must complete his 120-hour placement tenure at least 2 days a week with an 8-hour shift.
Occupations a Student Can Opt For:

- Case Manager
- Disability Service Coordinator
- Disability Service Officer
- Project Worker

Work Placements After Cert 3 In Individual Support (Disability):
If you enjoy working for the community and making a difference in people's lives then this course is best for you. This course requires a 120-hour work placement. This is a short course and an easy way to join the workforce. The students are supposed to work in a community or a residential setting followed by an individualized plan. The plan involves giving care and support to people suffering from any sort of disability. Work involves providing the best treatment and care and applying all the theoretical knowledge in the practical field when it comes to providing individualised help. Employees are equipped with a variety of factual, technical, and procedural knowledge. Furthermore, some theoretical understanding of the ideas and methods needed to offer person-centred care is also practised during the work placement.
Work Placements After Cert 4 In Individual Support (Disability):
The Cert 4 students when working on student placements are employed in several community centres aged care, and disability homes. They are trained professionals who provide training and individualized support to their clients making them achieve independence, well-being, community participation, and self-belief. There is a greater chance to excel in health care services and community services because they are the fastest-growing workforce sectors in Australia. Industries have experienced a significant shortage of professional and experienced workers in the disability and healthcare sectors. This shortage will continue in the coming years, so if you expect a promising career ahead it is the best time to join this field. The work placement requirement for the Cert 4 in Individual Support (Disability) is 120 hours of practical onsite placement. The main difference between Cert 3 and Cert 4 in Disability is, that by completing Cert 4 Disability Service Workers promote a person-centred approach and they do not require to work under the direct supervision of their supervisors. They can also handle and supervise their team when they are present on-site.
SkilTrak Connecting Students With Industries:
When the placement period arises for disability course students, many colleges and RTOs are unable to place their students in reputable industries. Here SkilTrak steps in to connect students with the top-notch industries. When students are assigned to SkilTrak, this can be done by the RTO or the students can register with SkilTrak themselves. An Online PMS Portal is provided where our professional placement coordinator conducts a brief interview with the student. When identifying the industry, our Placement Coordinator gives top priority to each and every request and specification made by the student. Student work preference, time availability, location, and skill set are kept as a top priority while finding a suitable industry for the student.
After the industry is finalised all the documents are sent to the industry and at the same time uploaded to the LMS Portal. Most of the industries where we place our students are registered with the NDIS. We mostly prefer our students to be placed in a Facility like ANNECTO, Gateway Support, Saint James, etc.
