Introduction
AEN believe one of the main reasons that apprentice and trainee completion rates are low is that young people don’t have the opportunity to trial, experience and learn about a range of vocational options before having to “sign up” to a long commitment.
MIP pilots indicate that 50% of youth who completed the program found their career aspirations changed from what they were prior to undertaking the program.
The Multi-industry pre-apprenticeship support project has provided participants with the opportunity to have a “hands on” trial of 3-4 different industries during a course. The project also supported host employers as it enabled them to engage with a number of young participants through the project to find the best possible “fit” for their business.
The project is for:
- students between years 10 and 12
- existing unemployed people under 25
who might be interested in pursuing a vocational pathway in the future.
Group Training Organisations (GTO’s) from Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania have designed courses providing participants with a range of experiences which are funded through the MIP project.
Project Targets
- 1000 School Based Pre-Apprenticeships – Transitioning from school to work
