School Holiday Aviation Program for Young People Aged 15+ in Perth
Organisation: Flight Standards
Location: Flight Standards, Jandakot Airport
Date: October 1 to October 3, 2026
This three-day program is a fantastic opportunity to learn many of the hands-on skills required to pilot an aeroplane in a fun and relaxed environment. All practical and theory training is delivered by Flight Standards instructors, with each participant receiving pre- and post-flight briefings. Participants have the opportunity to go on a "behind-the-scenes" tour of the airfield, visit on-field aviation organisations, and visit the control tower (subject to operational requirements). Then to cap it all off, they will get to actually fly an aeroplane in two experience lessons, plus spend some time in the flight simulator.
The focus of the course is understanding what it takes to become a pilot, including the medical requirements, structure of a typical training day, knowledge and skills required to obtain your licence, and various training pathways for a career in aviation or becoming a recreational pilot.
While targeted at participants 15 years of age, participants over 13 years of age will be considered based on height and maturity.

Electrical Trades Information
A practical VET Pathway into the Electrical Trades
From Apprenticeship Support Australia
The Certificate II in Data and Voice Communications (UEE20720) offers students a practical and industry‑aligned VET pathway into the electrical field. Through hands‑on learning, students develop core capabilities such as installing and maintaining telecommunication cabling, working safely with extra‑low voltage systems, assembling components, and interpreting technical drawings—skills that closely support the early stages of electrical trade training. The qualification also includes training aligned with ACMA open cabler registration, giving students a valuable edge when approaching electrical industry intakes and apprenticeship opportunities.
For more information on electrical apprenticeships, go to So, you want to be an electrician. Here are some suggested pathways into electrical trades.
Start an Electrical Apprenticeship Early
Apprenticeship Support has joined ongoing efforts to identify pathways for students entering the electrical trades. They recommend that students start with one of these courses:
- Cert II in Sustainable Energy
- Cert II in Electronics
- Cert II in Computer Assembly and Repair.
Electrical Apprenticeship Maths Skills
Electrical apprenticeship Maths tests focus on Year 10–11 level applied Mathematics, covering basic arithmetic, algebra, fractions, decimals, and geometry, with a typical duration of 1 hour 45 minutes. Key areas include Ohm’s Law, cable calculations, and unit conversions. Calculators are generally allowed, and these tests are often used to identify the need for extra support.
Practice Maths tests can be found on the So, you want to be an electrician article/post.
New Training ➡️ Occupations Pathways
Discover where your apprenticeship can lead. Jobs and Skills Australia has released the Training to Occupation Pathways (TOP) dataset, a new tool that maps VET qualifications to occupations and reveals the many pathways between them.
Whether you're exploring career options, planning workforce needs, or shaping policy, TOP provides practical, evidence-based insights to support better decisions. Explore the data in two directions:
- Start with a qualification to see potential job outcomes.
Start with an occupation to understand the training options available.
This new dataset provides information that can then be used in partnership with MyFuture to find information about Western Australian opportunities.
Apprenticeship and Traineeship Information
How to Get an Apprenticeship or Traineeship
An apprenticeship or traineeship is a job. You apply through sites like Seek or Indeed, you may know someone who is willing to take you on, or you can apply through a Group Training Organisation.
- You sign a contract when you start agreeing to undertake all aspects of the work and training (onsite working and training at a college).
- There is usually a company (like MEGT or Apprenticeship Support) that manages the paperwork for you and your employer, and that provides you with support as you start your apprenticeship/traineeship.
A Group Training Organisation is…
A Group Training Organisation employs lots of apprentices and trainees. They coordinate the placement of the apprentices and trainees across different host employers so that you can cover all the skills you need for your apprenticeship/traineeship.
You can find a GTO near you by going HERE.
Apprenticeship VS. Traineeship
Apprenticeships are usually in traditional trades, like plumbing or hairdressing. Traineeships are usually shorter and in new occupations like IT, business and government.
You don’t get paid much, but:
- Your employer should cover your training fees.
- Your employer MAY pay for your tools, equipment and uniform.
- There MAY be a scholarship or subsidy to help you to cover costs. Check the Construction Training Fund Apprentice Funding page.
The West Australian Government provides free information to help you to get an apprenticeship or traineeship at the Apprenticeship Office. Seek and Indeed advertise for apprentices and trainees all through the year. The Jobs and Skills Centres also have a jobs board.
Jobs and Skills Centre for Apprenticeships and Traineeships
Parents, employers and students can get free, government-funded information and guidance about apprenticeships and traineeships from one of the Jobs and Skills Centres.
If you think a trade or traineeship could be a good pathway for you, go to a Jobs and Skills Centre.
