Work and community placements take various
forms: the classic apprenticeship with an individual 'master' who
has the skills to be acquired; attachment to a mentor; shadowing
one or more individuals, or working in a relevant environment. The
latter may involve the student in a particular role, undertaking
a particular project, simply being in a particular environment observing
and taking part in day-to-day activities on a work attachment, or
an internship where the student is shown how the work or community
environment operates.
