School-based traineeships

The State Service school-based traineeship program provides opportunities for students to combine work, training and education.

Students are able to gain a nationally recognised qualification by working part-time in the State Service and staying at school to complete their Tasmanian Certificate of Education in years 11 and 12.

The program also helps to build our year 12 retention rate by providing varied and vocational specific opportunities. Importantly, the traineeships provide students with both a qualification and work skills that may lead to further employment or education.
