School
Based Apprenticeships (SBA’s) allow students over 15 years of age to work as
paid part time trainees or apprentices in business whilst completing their
secondary education at school.
The
School Based Apprentices participate in a negotiated structured training
program delivered in partnership with employers and a Registered Training
Organisation (RTO). The trainees generally work for one to two days per week,
attend training and spend the rest of the week completing their secondary
studies at school. Students may be enrolled in Year 10, VCE or VCAL studies.
The SBA
program provides employers with the opportunity to:
- Have the
satisfaction of giving a young person a head start in their chosen
profession
- The opportunity to
gain a potential long term employee
- Promote their
business and industry as a career for young people
- Have a training
plan suited specifically to their business incorporating training,
school and work commitments.
- Employers are eligible
for Government financial incentives when employing School Based
Apprentices.
 The
SBA program provides students with the opportunity to:
- Gain work
experience in their chosen field or industry and get paid for it!
