EVET & SBATs

An Externally-delivered Vocational Education and Training (EVET) course enables a head start on a career while students are still at school.

EVET courses help build practical skills and industry-specific knowledge. Some courses contribute to an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).

Benefits of EVET
INTEREST - Study something you're interested in.
EXPERIENCE - Learn from industry experienced teachers.
INSIGHT - Gain insight into industry areas to help you with your career decisions.
SKILLS - Develop employer recognised skills and experience.
INDEPENDENCE - Develop independence and confidence in an adult learning environment.
PATHWAYS - Potentially gain credit from your course towards further study.

School based apprenticeships and traineeships (SBATs) combine paid work, training and school. They are available to all Year 11 and 12 high school students and you can work towards a nationally recognised qualification as part of your HSC. In some cases they can count towards your ATAR.

What's in it for students?

• Receive hands-on industry experience and gain a qualification from TAFE or another RTO while you complete your HSC.

• Be paid while you learn.

• Commence a pathway into further study or employment.

• If you complete a school based apprenticeship, you can continue into the second year of your apprenticeship when you leave school.
