HELPING STUDENTS GET A CAREER HEAD START

Head Start is a new education pathway for secondary school students that complements school-based education with an apprenticeship or traineeship. Students complete their Year 12 Certificate alongside paid on-the-job training that leads to a qualification, and in most cases sustainable employment pathways.

Head Start is designed to give students the confidence, capabilities and skills that employers in growth industries need. The program recognises that students learn in different ways, have different passions and empower their own career choices.

HOW HEAD START WORKS WITH SCHOOL

A Head Start pathway involves students attending school some days of the week, and work on others. Days of the week in employment will be personalized for each student, depending on the needs of their employer.

Since every young person is different, Head Start Coordinators work flexibly with schools to create a timetable that guarantees these days in the workplace, without compromising the ability to achieve personal academic success.

Students are eligible to explore a Head Start pathway at Years 10, 11 or 12. Apprenticeships or traineeships can commence at any time in the school year, provided the student has met all suitability requirements regarding commitment to academic achievement and employability skills.

WHY GET A HEAD START?

Head Start students receive:

  • career planning advice from the school career practitioner to find the right pathway

  • a Head Start Pathway Plan tailored to the specific needs of the student and the employer

  • one-on-one support from a Head Start Coordinator to keep students on the right track

  • quality-assured training through TAFEs and Skills First contracted providers

  • a VCE or VCE Vocational Major certificate

  • significant progress towards, or completion of, a trade qualification

  • payment of a fair training wage

  • a tailored pathway into a priority industry career.

COURSES AVAILABLE
