School-Based Pre-Apprenticeships
A school-based pre-apprenticeship is a great way for students in Years 11 and 12 to work towards a trade qualification in plumbing/painting. This program is fully funded, so there is no cost to the students.
Try-A-Trade
The program gives participants the opportunity to try different trades, find the right career path and learn critical skills needed for the job. Participants gain real-world experience through practical activities led by an experienced professional.
Career Taster
The Career Taster Program (CTP) aims to inspire secondary school students to become ‘career curious’ about further study opportunities and potential careers.
Short Courses
Whether students are interested in pursuing a career in the trades or simply looking to explore their interests, these courses are a fantastic opportunity to gain hands-on experience.
