Sydney Catholic Schools is keen for employers to take up school based apprenticeships and traineeships and will provide ongoing support to those who choose to do so. School based apprenticeships and traineeships offer a valuable pathway for students and an excellent means for developing the skilled employees so desired by employers.

Overview

Sydney Catholic Schools requests employers to:

  • respond to questions asked by Sydney Catholic schools as set out in the Employer Questionnaire and Checklist form
  • read the Student Needs Assessment declaration, if provided and respond as necessary
  • provide a safe and non-threatening work environment for the apprentice or trainee
  • be aware of the purpose of the SBAT Incident Report and follow-up procedures
  • comply with relevant laws including WHS and child protection laws
  • notify the student’s school if your apprentice or trainee is absent from scheduled work during school hours
