ºÚÁϳԹÏ's Trades Skills Centre offers students the opportunity to learn a trade or complete VET certificate courses as part of their high school studies.
Located at our Rothwell Campus, our Trades Skills Centre was built using Federal Government Grants to help address local skills shortages in the trades of cabinetmaking, carpentry, general construction, engineering and metal fabrication.
Our Trades Skills Centre has an engineering workshop, a combined furnishing and construction workshop, a preparation area, a theory room and a covered outdoor work area for larger projects. Students use specialised tools and equipment to gain qualifications in construction, engineering and furnishing. This training gives students fundamental skills in a variety of trades, which they can then apply to further vocational training, apprenticeships or trainee-ships.
We are currently offering our students training in many VET certificate and training courses, including Certificate I in Construction (CPC10111), Certificate I in Furnishing (MSF10113) and Certificate II in Engineering Pathways (MEM20413).
ºÚÁϳԹÏ's VET and Careers Support team also work with local businesses to help students access apprenticeships and trainee-ships in their chosen trade.
