Are you ready to give your business a head start?

HOW HEAD START WORKS

Depending on your needs as an employer, students attend school some days and work on others. At a minimum, students will undertake paid employment for:

• one day per week in Year 10
• two days per week in Year 11
• three days per week paid in Year 12.

Students can also choose to complete Year 12 over two years to support their apprenticeship or traineeship, if required.

Head Start students can choose from apprenticeships and traineeships in key industries such as building, construction, community services and health, business and primary industries.

Over time the focus will expand to new highend, technology based courses, to meet the growing needs of businesses.
