Apprenticeships<br />
An apprenticeship provides an advantage in the job market; showing<br />
employers a c<strong>and</strong>idate has both practical experience, job ready skills, an<br />
aptitude to learn <strong>and</strong> a recognised qualification.<br />
Prospective apprentices are able to contact <strong>Headmasters</strong> <strong>and</strong> request a listing<br />
of employers seeking apprentices. Other alternatives include looking at jobs<br />
ads, searching through the national jobs database, registering at an Australian<br />
Apprenticeships Centre or seeking advice from their school.<br />
Once an employer has offered an apprenticeship, the apprentice <strong>and</strong><br />
the employer complete a signed training contract with an Australian<br />
Apprenticeship Centre <strong>and</strong> nominated Registered Training Organisation, such<br />
as <strong>Headmasters</strong> who can provide the necessary training qualification.<br />
An Australian Apprenticeship Centre (AAC) representative will visit the<br />
workplace to complete the training contract with the employer <strong>and</strong><br />
apprentice. Contact the AAC on 13 38 73 or australianapprenticeships.gov.au<br />
for more information.<br />
Apprenticeships <strong>and</strong> VET are only available to Australian residents<br />

VOcatiOnal educatiOn <strong>and</strong> tRaining in ScHOOlS<br />
VET in Schools, a vocationally oriented program for Years 10, 11 <strong>and</strong> 12 VCE<br />
or VCAL students, allows students to undertake training at <strong>Headmasters</strong> one<br />
day a week while still studying. The program gives students an opportunity<br />
to gain their VCAL/VCE as well as employment experience in the workplace.<br />
On completion of the VETiS program students may be eligible to receive a<br />
Certificate II in <strong>Hairdressing</strong>, Certificate II in Makeup Services or Cerificate II in<br />
Applied Fashion Design <strong>and</strong> Technology.<br />
School based apprentices, trained by <strong>Headmasters</strong> can work toward gaining<br />
a Certificate III in <strong>Hairdressing</strong>, while studying VCAL/VCE. Students are<br />
able to study at secondary school <strong>and</strong> pursue an ambition of becoming a<br />
hairdresser with a nationally recognised qualification. The School Based<br />
Australian Apprenticeship program sees students working part time in a salon<br />
gaining valuable skills <strong>and</strong> work experience as well as attending <strong>Headmasters</strong><br />
<strong>Academy</strong> to attain further vocational training. Assessment is competency<br />
based following training received. Talk to <strong>Headmasters</strong> or a school careers<br />
adviser for more information.
