What exactly are school-based apprenticeships and traineeships?

As the name suggests, school-based apprenticeships and traineeships (also known as SBATs) allow you to combine your school studies with work and vocational training.

You can begin an SBAT in Year 10, 11, or 12, splitting your time between three key components:

• continuing essential school work
• undertaking formal vocational training (either in person or online)
• working part-time and receiving hands-on training and mentoring

An SBAT is perfect if you learn best by doing, are keen to get a head start on your career, may be struggling with traditional school, or aren’t interested in heading to university straight after graduation.
