About The Placement

This is a structured, learning-focused student placement designed to help an enrolled student apply course knowledge in a supervised professional environment. The placement is intended only for students whose university, TAFE or authorised training provider confirms that the placement is an approved requirement or component of their course.

This placement is unpaid. A modest expense allowance will be offered at HashTech Group's discretion to assist with approved travel and placement-related costs. The allowance is not payment for productive output, and the final arrangements will be documented with the student and education provider before commencement.
