Certificate III training and a Year 12 Education is what the ATC-SG&O are all about.
Be part of an industry run, governed and sponsored school - the only one in Country SA!
Industry governed means the College has access to more jobs and apprenticeships than any other school in the region.
Students in the Australian Technical College attempt to become Australian School Based Apprentices (ASbA) and complete paid work for a local employer and complete around 1/3 of their full apprenticeship whilst still at school. The students also complete their South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) at the same time.
Students not signed to an ASbA will still complete much of the 1st and 2nd year TAFE components of their chosen trade during their time at the College.
ATC-SG&O students will receive high quality preparation skills for work from the ATC-SG&O combined the best trade training possible from local Registered Training Organisations.
ATC-SG&O students will complete their SACE through innovative and flexible teaching methods. Students will have their "normal" school subjects modified to suit their workplace environment as much as possible.
Employers wishing to employ an ATC-SG&O student know that they will receive a student with specialised work skills, regular mentoring by ATC-SG&O staff, small business management skills, extra literacy and numeracy help and employers continue to receive the usual financial benefits provided by the Australian Government for employing a School Based Apprentice. Employers can gain financial benefits totalling over $4000 in some cases.
The ATC SG&O will help source training in the following trades:
- metal and engineering (e.g. machinists, fabricators, toolmakers, welders, sheet metal workers, fitters);
- automotive (e.g. mechanics, auto electricians, panel beaters, vehicle painters);
- building and construction (e.g. bricklayers, plumbers, carpenters);
- electrotechnology (e.g. refrigeration, air conditioning, telecommunications and electricians);
- commercial cookery (e.g. chefs, bakers)
