Work Placement Program
TAS has been running the International Student Work Placement Program in conjunction with its Activities Program for many years. Numerous local businesses, generous in their support, continue to offer placements to our students.These businesses include: Coles; Kmart; Big W; IGA; Retravision; Dymocks; Sportspower; Armidale Outdoors; Struddy's; Courthouse Coffee; Caffiends on the Mall; Rumours; Bernie May Veterinary Clinic and Armidale City Library.
The program is designed to allow our international students, who come from regions across Asia, to experience a range of business operations, to engage with the community and appreciate its diversity and to exercise their language skills in different contexts. Most importantly, the connections we aim to establish with local businesses on behalf of our students allow them to feel an increased sense of belonging to Armidale, their host city.
