School Based Apprenticeships (SBAT)

A school-based apprenticeship or traineeship (SBAT) gives a student paid on-the-job training while they complete secondary school.

SBATs combine part-time employment with training toward a nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) qualification. Students can receive credit for their SBAT towards the VCE, VCE Vocational Major or Victorian Pathways Certificate.

The SBAT student, their parent and employer sign a training contract, and the student completes a training plan with a registered training organisation.

The student’s school must approve the SBAT, so the student can attend work and training during the school week.
