900 HOURS FOR TRADES RECOGNITION

In addition to regular job support services, Shafston provides a frees service which supports its Hospitality students throughout their studies by helping them to find industry placements which will provide an opportunity to accumulate the 900 hours required for TRA (Trades Recognition Authority) skill’s assessment. At the appropriate time, the Students who wish to take advantage of the support provided by the Shafston employment staff would register their interest and our staff will take up their case by putting them in contact with potential employers – this is a free-of-charge service available to Hospitality students.

The placements provide an opportunity for students to improve their skills and widen their network of contacts in the industry. All placements are likely to lead to ongoing paid employment if the student can show he/she is motivated, productive and willing to work. Students who are flexible and keen to learn will find it is not difficult to accumulate the necessary 900 hours of work.
