What is a collaboration program/cadetship program?
A collaboration program/cadetship program is an arrangement between UNE FMH and selected facilities and Local Health Districts that allows a local student to receive a percentage of the remainder of there placements with the 1 facility and or Local Health District.
What are the benefits for a student?
If you are approved into a collaboration program you will receive ideally 60-70% of the remainder of your placements with the 1 facility and or within the chosen Local Health District. This will save you expenses instead of travelling NSW far and wide for placements and it is also a great way for you to prove yourself to the agency or LHD as to your work ability in hopes for future employment with them.
What are the benefits for facilities?
The facilities will get to have local students doing placements with them and in turn if students prove themselves during placements they may also offer students employment during your course of study and or even after your course in regard to New Grad opportunities- this will all come down to what workforce opportunities the site has at the time. (not always guaranteed though)
Points to note:
Not all facilities will have the capacity to host you for every placement due to the size of the facility and as per requirements you are still required to attend placements that meet your unit of study - if the site cannot give you a specific placement, in this instance you will need to preference as per normal process (for example- not all sites will have a Community Health or Mental Health ward). If you are granted a spot within a collaboration program or cadetship you will receive a placement progression plan which outlines a plan for your future placements, if you differ from this plan due to any reason, for example- failed a unit, withdrew from a unit - you may be withdrawn from the collaboration program.
