Placements is The University of Queensland's (UQ) electronic solution for administering Work Integrated Learning - Placements.
There are four approved generic WIL placement management processes, viz.
- Student allocated by School (Manual or Automatic)
- Student finds their own placement
- Placement advertised
- Student interviewed by school and placements matched after this
Placements has been implemented as a cloud solution and will integrate with other enterprise systems (via the data hub) for example, Aurion for staff details and SI-net for student details.
- Standardised processes associated with student placements.
- Easily scale up to provide more work integrated learning placements.
- Optimise student placement readiness and mitigate risks associated with the placement administrative process by ensuring all prior and post placement administrative and /or legislative requirements are captured.
- Quick access to student localities at any time.
- Standard and configurable reporting of data within the placement system.
- Improved industry and placement provider relationships through coordinated and transparent contact from each faculty/school/discipline.
There are several roles in Placements with associated permissions giving staff access to the system and the appropriate level of data.
View the permission matrix for further details about the access provided. For gaining access, follow the process outlined below.
