School-based apprenticeship or traineeship
A school-based apprenticeship or traineeship is organised in partnership with the student, parent/carer, school, employer and RTO. It is the RTO that is responsible for recording student information. A school-based apprenticeship or traineeship that is not completed by the end of Year 12 may convert to a full-time or part-time apprenticeship or traineeship through formal contract negotiations with the student, RTO and employer.
The Queensland Government, Department of Employment, Small Business and Training provides further information about school-based apprenticeships and traineeships.
