Students at both Brisbane Water Secondary College campuses have been encouraged to explore career opportunities through the NSW Government’s Educational Pathways Program which has just been expanded to the local schools.
The program will offer students the opportunity to undertake fee-free apprenticeships and pre-traineeships so they can ‘test-drive’ different vocational education and training options.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Adam Crouch, said the program aims to improve education and career pathways for high school students by connecting them to real-world skills, training and experience.
“This program is a real win for students and will help to broker relationships between schools, local employers and industries,” Crouch said.
“Expanding the program means more opportunities for students to develop the skills and experience that will help them make informed decisions about their career and further education.”
