2. Meeting RTO Requirements: The 120-Hour Model

Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) require students to complete structured placements. The standard 120-hour internship is more than a checkbox it’s a chance to demonstrate competency, communication, and creativity in a real-world setting. Future Finds works directly with RTOs and students to streamline placements, track hours, and ensure outcomes are met efficiently.
