Australian School Based Apprenticeships (ASbAs)
For students who are absolutely certain of their career pathway, there are opportunities in some trades to commence an Australian School Based Apprenticeship whilst enrolled in VCE VM. This means an employer takes you on and trains you on the job. In some cases, this may mean that you spend 2 days at work each week and have your TAFE training delivered to you there or in the school holidays. You are also assessed on your skills and knowledge at work. Other ASBA students actually attend TAFE. There are further incentives for the employer to keep you on in employment after you complete the 2-year ASBA.
Tick the box above if you would be interested in finding an ASBA as part of your VCE VM program (Please note – this is the responsibility of the student to negotiate in writing with the employer and employment agency, and to ensure they are enrolled in TAFE, providing the ASBA Training Plan to the College for recording in VASS)

YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE
Job Title Employer/Business name Reason for selecting this job and employer
i.e.: Kitchen hand Mulgrave Country Club I am passionate about becoming a chef. Mulgrave Country Club is a busy bistro and I like the selection of food on their menu.
Part E: Career Pathway Plan or Goals
Describe your career pathway goals and how you consider the VCE VM program will help you achieve your goal (a paragraph minimum)
eg I really want to be a chef. When I spoke to the Chisholm VET Coordinator at the Careers Expo, she told me about the Catering Services Certificate. There I get to specialise in Kitchen Operations and learn how to cook. When I have finished my Certificate II at Chisholm, I would really like to go to William Angliss College in the city as they have a really good name and top chefs go to them to get apprentices. I will be 18 then and will have transport to work and study in the city. One day, my dream is to travel throughout Asia to learn about their cooking. VCE VM allows me to start my TAFE VET studies in Year 11 and I will reach my goals earlier. Because you have to work in teams and be an independent learner in Hospitality, VCE VM suits my learning style.
What further education or training will be required after leaving school before you reach your goal? What information did you learn from the Nazareth Careers Expo on Subject Selection Night ?
eg If I don’t have an apprenticeship straight after Year 12, I will complete my Certificate IV at Chisholm and apply for the Diploma at William Angliss.
