Trades offered will depend on industry need and minimum enrolment requirements being met

A School-based Apprenticeship (SbA) is a mix of academic, vocational and technical education and paid employment where a student’s school studies, training and work all fit together.

School-based Apprenticeships are available to students aged 15 – 19 years and over who have successfully completed Year 10 or 11.

Benefits of a School-based Apprenticeship include:

  • Students are given a head start in their trade career and gain a competitive edge when searching for future employment
  • Students earn an income and move towards achieving a nationally recognised trade qualification – while still at school!
  • Students are provided with important hands on skills and valuable industry experience
  • The option for future study remains open. Once fully qualified, students can further their education to enhance qualifications or progress their career
  • Students are taught valuable business knowledge and skills so they can go on to own their own business
