School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships SBAT Guide 2012 – 2013

If you are looking for the absolute  Guide to School Based Apprenticeships  and Traineeships then we recommend that you read through the “School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships SBAT Guide 2012 – 2013”.

The SBAT Guide will help students, parents and school staff  answer most questions  about SBATs including:

- What are SBATs?
- Who can do an SBAT?
- Who is involved in an SBAT and what are their roles?
- What are the benefits of an SBAT?
- What industries  offer SBATs?
- Who can help a student obtain an SBAT?

The Guide also uses Case Studies to demonstrates the different ways that a student can undertake an SBAT and how they are supported in that process.

The SBAT Guide is based on an initiative started by the Inner Northern LLEN and this edition of  the Guide has been developed through the collective efforts of the members of the Northern SBAT Task Force’s  Resources Working Group, with the financial support of  a range of sponsors and with a significant contribution of the Hume Whittlesea LLEN staff time.

Unfortunately as this is a big document packed full with knowledge and information we have had to break it up in to three different parts for easier downloading:
