Now is the time for students in Year 10 to get the ball rolling if they want to undertake an SBAT during Years 11 and 12!
A few points on SBATs:
- SBATs are available to students in Years 10, 11 and 12.
- SBATs contribute units as one of the HSC subjects and some can count towards the ATAR.
- Students work a minimum of 100-180 days of paid work before the end of their HSC year, depending on the qualification. This is usually one day per week plus some of the school holidays.
- Students complete a nationally recognised training qualification (Certificate II or III) before the end of their HSC. This can be in the form of face-to-face learning at TAFE or another RTO, online learning, flexible delivery or via the school’s VET program, depending on the qualification.
- School-based trainees complete their traineeship at the completion of the HSC.
- School-based apprentices complete Stage 1 of their apprenticeship at the completion of the HSC, ready to vary into full-time work as a second-year apprentice after Year 12.
- SBAT opportunities are available across a wide range of industries.
