FAQ Category: Placement Readiness, Documents & Learner Agreements
What documents should I share with students before they commence placement?
You should share the learner agreement document (also referred to as the student letter) and, if you wish, a copy of the risk assessment. These documents can be accessed within Connect and navigate to placements, actions, and generate documents. Please view our handy video guide.

What is placement readiness?
Placement readiness refers to the preparation stage before a student attends a placement. To ensure a successful placement, students must undertake basic awareness checks. In addition, we have a virtual employability programme available on our App and online portal, which we recommend students access before they attend a placement.

How do students know the dress code, the lunch arrangements, what time they should start, and who they should report to?
Connect will print out a welcome letter for each student with this information which forms a leaner agreement. It is a requirement that each student contacts their placement before their start date to introduce themselves and confirm all details are correct.
