Head Start

Head Start supports Victorian government secondary students to undertake a school-based apprenticeship or traineeship (SBAT).

SBATs combine secondary schooling with paid employment and training, and are open to students who are:

·      enrolled in year 10, 11 or 12

·      at least 15 years of age

·      Australian Citizens or Permanent Residents

Head Start staff are employed in schools to provide information and support regarding SBAT opportunities. A teacher or career adviser in the school might connect your young person with a Head Start staff member who can:

·      Present the Head Start program to their class

·      Discuss the Head Start program at an initial 1:1 meeting  

·      Provide further information and a referral form for your consent
