School-Based Apprenticeships
Students doing a school-based apprenticeship usually combine the final two years of school with paid part-time work. This enables them to complete the first year (in some instances six months) of their apprenticeship trade at the same time as they are completing the HSC.
They then go into the second year as a full time apprentice – usually with the same employer – once they leave school.
School-Based Traineeships
School-based traineeships are fully completed within the final two years at school, providing students with the HSC, a VET qualification, a Certificate of Proficiency and paid experience in the workplace.
SBATs involve:
- Paid part-time work
- On and off the job training
- Indenture or contract signed by all parties and lodged with the government
- SBA: 2 yrs part-time (HSC) then 2-3 yrs full time
- SBT: 2 yrs part-time (HSC).
For more information you can visit SCS SBAT website or please contact the College and ask for the SBAT Coordinator.
