School Based Trainee/Apprenticeships
School Based Trainee/Apprenticeships
These are available, but you must have an employer lined up. The school does not find this for you
Negotiations start in Term 4 of Yr 10 and the idea is to set this up so the student can commence at the start of Yr 11
A traineeship is the simpler of the two and gains you a qualification or part qualification (Statement Of Attainment)
A SBA (Apprenticeship) means you complete the first year of an Apprenticeship over Yr 11-12. It involves one day of work and one day at TAFE each week.
Is VET for Me?
Is VET for Me?
School Based VET is cheaper than TVET and no travel involved
TVET offers a wider range of courses
What type of path am I on eg : ATAR Path or NON-ATAR pathway ?
VET can compliment both pathways
Several students have achieved high ATAR’s doing VET Subjects
Students doing an ATAR Pathway can achieve very high results in VET courses eg Entertainment in 2016/2017
Students doing a NON-ATAR pathway can select work based units and combine this with 2 Unit Work Studies to lessen the workload and still meet NESA requirements
If you are interested in VET and have questions, please ring the Trinity reception number (02)66276600 and ask for Tony Clarke
