SBATs are an excellent way for students to get a head start in their career while still at school.

Students doing a school-based apprenticeship usually combine the final 2 years of school with paid part-time work. This enables them to finish the first year of their trade whilst completing the HSC. They then go into the second year full time – usually with the same employer – once they leave school.

School-based traineeships are fully completed within the final 2 years at school, providing students with the HSC, a VET qualification, a Certificate of Proficiency and paid experience in the workplace.

SBATs are available in a large range of industries. To find out which ones, go the the NSW Government Department of Education SBATs in NSW website.
