School-based apprenticeships and traineeships

School-based apprenticeships and traineeships are an opportunity for students to gain knowledge and work skills in an industry pathway to employment. At Good Shepherd, students typically have one day per week in the work place and study a reduced load of five subjects to help balance their time commitments. Students who choose this mode of study are enrolled in the relevant qualification with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) for the industry. Completed learning contributes to the QCE and students often gain work placement as the result of a completed apprenticeship or traineeship.

Our students have completed traineeships in the following fields:

  • Hospitality (chef and front-of-house)
  • Sports coaching
  • Construction and plumbing
  • Aged care
  • Business
