Apprenticeship information

If you are considering starting an apprenticeship or traineeship when you finish school, have a look at the AAPathways Website. There are hundreds of options for you to think about. Employers prefer students who have completed either a VET course in their VCE or VCAL, or a pre-apprenticeship and have some suitable work experience, as well as a passion for their trade.  https://www.aapathways.com.au/students
