SATS - School-Based Apprenticeship Traineeship Program

The school based Apprenticeship and Traineeship Program allows students to:

• Begin a paid traineeship or apprenticeship while completing Year 11 or 12.
• Gain a head start in their career while continuing at School
• Benefit from ongoing monitoring and support
• Graduate with senior certificate AND vocational qualifications (complete or partial)
• Graduate with industry relevant skills and experience

The benefits to local employers are:

• Assisting local high school students with their "school-to-work" transition
• As a community representative you will develop a workplace learning partnership that gives students the opportunity to develop academic and vocational competencies
• Employers are entitled to receive government incentives that can cover more than six months wages (student working one day per week).
• The hours the student is required to work are negotiated between all parties (ie student, parents, S.I.T.E Coordinator, RTO and NAC).
• The training (course modules and competencies) can be tailored to suit both the employer and student. (This would need to be discussed with the RTO prior to listing a School Based Traineeship).
