About SBATs
School-based apprenticeships and traineeships (SBATs) are more than just part-time jobs - they’re a great way to set yourself up for the career you want whilst you are completing your HSC.
SBATs are available to all Year 10, 11 and 12 high school students in NSW undertaking the Higher School Certificate (HSC). The program allows students to commence an apprenticeship or complete a traineeship while at school.
A school-based apprenticeship or traineeship combines paid work, training and school. Students gain an industry-recognised national qualification and achieve credit towards the HSC.
Some apprenticeships and traineeships contribute towards the ATAR.
