Aboriginal School Based Training

Aboriginal School Based Training will help you start an apprenticeship or traineeship in school so you can get a great job afterwards.

As an apprentice or trainee, you are employed by The Apprentice and Traineeship Company, and we place you with a host employer in industry.

You spend time in the workplace with your host employer and time training with your training provider.

You get paid and get real skills for the real world.

You can start training in Year 10 with a course to give you the skills you need to be ready for work. If you prefer, you can wait and do this course in Year 11 or Year 12.
Once you are ready, you can start an apprenticeship or traineeship either in Year 11 or Year 12. This is when you start to get paid for working on the job.
Your apprenticeship or traineeship can be part-time or full-time.
If you choose a part-time traineeship, you may spend up to four days in school and one day in the workplace. You may also get some off the job training with a training provider.
If you choose a part-time apprenticeship, you may spend three days in school, one day with a training provider and one day in the workplace.
If you choose to become a full-time apprentice or trainee, you would leave school to train but stay employed by The Apprentice and Traineeship Company
