School-based Apprenticeships and Traineeships

Want to finish off school with your mates but ready to kick-start the career of your dreams? A School-based Apprenticeship or Traineeship with us could be the answer!

School-based Apprenticeships and Traineeships are available across many different industries and with many occupations to choose from, chances are there will be one that matches your interests!

Australian School-based Apprenticeships and Traineeships allow you to:

  • Stay at school with your mates and start an apprenticeship or traineeship at the same time 
  • Earn a wage whilst finishing school 
  • Finish Year 12 and get a VET qualification at the same time 
  • Get vital experience working whist still at school which will give you an edge over other candidates  
  • Knock up-to a year off your full apprenticeship or traineeship by starting whilst at school 
How does it work?

Australian School-based Apprenticeships and Traineeships allow you to combine your schooling with part-time on-the-job training and study to achieve a Nationally Recognised Qualification.

You can gain credit towards your final years of schooling and still go on to higher education pathways using the qualification as a pre-requisite upon completing your apprenticeship or traineeship.
 

Why start in school?

By starting an Australian School-based Apprenticeship or Traineeship with us you’ll be able to complete the first year of a traditional Australian Apprenticeship, spread over your final two years of schooling. This means you will still be able to complete your senior schooling qualifications whilst getting a head start on your career – win win!

Meet with your Careers Adviser or Teacher to discuss how the School-based Apprenticeship or Traineeship will contribute towards your secondary education (you can also suggest they give us a call for more information!).
