An Industry Pathways Program with a Trade Focus
Your Future in Industry begins here
At Everton Park State High School we offer Year 11 and 12 students an Industry Pathways Program to complete their senior secondary education while also working towards a nationally certified qualification in a number of industry areas and / or a school-based traineeship / apprenticeship and part time employment in an industry.

Our unique curriculum allows young people to study senior Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) courses for three days at school and study a qualification or a school-based traineeship / apprenticeship and / or part time employment in the real world of industry for the other two days of the week.

An Everton Park State High School Industry Pathways Program graduate will be:

Keen to work

Educated to a senior level (receiving their Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE)
Experienced in the industry of their choice
Focused on a long-term career in the industry.

A dedicated case manager from Everton Park State High School will liaise with the business and training community to provide leadership and extensive industry support for each student as they commence the process of entering the workforce. This unique and flexible curriculum has been developed to meet the needs of Industry and provides the students with trade training and work placement.

Education and Opportunities
Everton Park State High School has developed an innovative senior educational program that meets the requirements of the QCAA and has the flexibility to respond to the needs of students' pathways to industry.
Students will attend school for three days a week – Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and are placed in their selected Certificate course, work placement and / or a Vocational Program for the remainder of the week. Subjects offered at Everton Park State High School for students engaged in Industry Pathways Program include:

Vocational Training and Education (VET)
VET in schools helps students in their transition from school to work and provides many students with added skills and abilities which help them gain employment or further education upon leaving school.
At Everton Park State High School, we offer the following VET pathways in Years 11 – 12.

School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SAT's)
School-based apprenticeships and traineeships (SATs) allow students to train and do paid work in a chosen traineeship or apprenticeship while still at school completing the Senior Phase of Learning.
SVETE
The School to Work Transition Programs developed under SVETE (School plus Vocational Education and Training leads to Employment) is an initiative of DET. These programs aim to improve opportunities for successful transitions of students from school to work through the creation of stronger links between industry, schools, students and vocational education and training.
School Partnerships - Stand-Alone AQF
Qualifications
The school partners with private VET providers such as Training Direct and Volunteering Queensland to provide current industry training.
Short Courses
Each year short courses occur within the school relevant to the student's interests and needs. These courses include RSA, the Blue card for childcare and the White card course for trade industries.
TAFE
Students you complete a TAFE Queensland qualification while still at school from a range of study areas including horticulture to early childhood education to engineering, and everything in between.

Benefits of TAFE at School
Fits around your high school studies
The great thing about TAFE at School courses is they work in with your existing high school studies. They can also count towards your Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE). TAFE at School allows you to join the workforce sooner by giving you a nationally-recognised qualification while you're still at school. You'll build practical skills and graduate job ready, giving you a head start in the job market.
Direct entry to a TAFE Queensland course
Completing a TAFE at School qualification gives you direct entry into any related TAFE Queensland course. Plus, if you continue on to a diploma qualification you can take advantage of our articulation arrangements with some of Australia's top universities. So if you decide to continue your studies at university you'll receive credit for your study at TAFE Queensland, shaving time off your degree.
University pathways
Completing a TAFE Queensland diploma will also give you guaranteed entry into a related University of Canberra bachelor degree, offered in partnership with TAFE Queensland. You can receive a diploma and a degree in the same amount of time it usually takes to complete degree alone, giving your career a head start and putting you ahead of the pack.
Earn credit toward the QCE
Vocational Education and Training (VET) can contribute points toward a student's Queensland Certificate Education (QCE) via completion of certificate units. TAFE at School programs are designed to contribute the maximum credit possible, whilst providing a solid underpinning knowledge of the field of study. By studying a qualification as part of school studies, students are able to accelerate completion of a qualification. In most cases, study in the TAFE at School program will offer credit toward a higher qualification.
Be 'work ready' sooner
TAFE qualifications are industry recognised and what industry wants! Our qualifications have been built in conjunction with industry to deliver the skills they are seeking in the workplace. All TAFE qualifications offer practical application of skills to build the confidence of our students.
Pay less for a higher qualification
Students undertaking a qualification with TAFE Queensland Brisbane as part of their senior studies may pay substantially reduced or, in some cases, no tuition fees at all. Once students transition to full-time they are then required to pay both tuition and materials. By completing a qualification whilst at school, students will spend less time in full-time studies and reduce the overall cost of their higher qualification.
Eligibility
TAFE at School is available to students beginning Year 11 and 12 in 2019.
All students who would like to participate in TAFE at School must have both parental and school consent.
Due to government funding arrangements for high school students, the subsidised TAFE at School programs are only available to Australian citizens or permanent Australian residents.

School-based apprenticeships and traineeships
School-based apprenticeships and traineeships (SATs) help young people to go places, whether that's a full-time job, a trade career, university, TAFE or other training. The workplace skills and confidence they gain during their SAT provide a solid foundation for any career. SATs allow students to work as paid employees and obtain nationally recognised qualifications, all while at school.

Advantages of school-based apprenticeships and traineeships include:
More flexibility and variety
The variety provided by SATs can have enormous benefits for young people who prefer hands-on learning to traditional schooling pathways.
Head start in a career
Young people employed as school-based apprentices and trainees develop workplace skills, knowledge and confidence and have a competitive edge when applying for jobs. A SAT can lead directly to full-time employment once a student has left school.
Nationally recognised qualifications
All school-based apprentices and trainees participate in vocational training that contributes to a Certificate II, III or higher vocational qualification which can count towards the student's Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE).
An opportunity to learn and earn
School-based apprentices and trainees are paid while they learn workplace skills, gain confidence, and adapt to a work environment. It gives the student the opportunity to put skills learnt at school into practice in a real work environment.
SATs are advertised in the school notices. Students who know which area they want to obtain a SAT in, should speak with Mrs Kovacic, the VET Coordinator, who will help look for opportunities if they are available.
