TRIAL SHIFTS // Do you know a young person starting out on their employment journey who has had to complete a 'trial shift' of three to five hours for zero pay? 🤔 In this interview with Tony Moclair on Nine's 3AW 693AM Radio Melbourne today, we discuss:
✅ trials can only be used to assess your capability
✅ young people can join local clubs to ask for job referrals
✅ parents need to ensure their children understand what is reasonable
✅ employers need to think about long term relationships when considering a trial process
This story was initiated by a column by Dr Kirstin Ferguson AM in The Age newspaper.
Thanks to Bianca Johnston for the invitation to contribute!
➡️ Have you ever been asked to do a 'free trial shift' that was not a genuine pre-work assessment?
