What is a school based apprenticeship or traineeship?
A combination of school, off the job training (with a Registered Training Organisation) and paid work (with a host employer), that can gain you credit towards a nationally recognised qualification. School-based apprenticeships and traineeships enable students to undertake an apprenticeship or traineeship while studying Years 10, 11 and 12.
