School-based Apprenticeships

A school-based apprenticeship is a way to start your career whilst still finishing secondary school. You work one day per week as an apprentice (on the job training) and go to TAFE one day per week (off the job training).

You get paid for any time that you spend working. The training that you get will be credited towards a full-time apprenticeship once you finish school.

Benefits

 

• One of the advantages of beginning a school-based apprenticeship is that you start your career whilst completing your senior studies.
• Once you have completed your school studies you then continue on as a fulltime apprentice, so when all your friends are looking for work, you have the security of knowing that you already have a job.
• Your school contact will work with you and your parents to negotiate 2 days out of school every week.

The Process

 

• You will have a recruitment interview with the school liaison officer at your school.
• You will then be assisted with an industry placement with one of our current Host employers where you will gain exposure to the industry of your choice.
• Industry placement can be either 1 day per week or a 1 week block, this is negotiated with your school contact and yourself and the school liaison officer from All Trades Queensland.
• Once you have completed your Industry Placement, you then decide if this is the trade you would like to apply for.
• Your application is then activated in the system and when a school-based vacancy becomes available you will be contacted.
