TERTIARY & CAREER PATHWAYS:
Trades, Apprenticeships, Business, Entrepreneurship
The Applied Industry and Entrepreneurship stream is a ‘hands-on’ option for Year 10 students, offering practical work-related experience and learning. The largely practical program is an initiative being undertaken that will look to better prepare our students that have a focus on trades or apprenticeships, whilst also giving them a range of life skills. Students will gain skills and experience in a range of areas which will include development of their literacy and numeracy as well as personal development and living skills. There will also be a strong focus on applied or ‘hands-on’ style learning and students will aim to develop their work ethics and their employability and life-skills.
