Prime Minister's 2010 Vocational Prizes awarded
The Minister for School Education, the Hon Peter Garrett MP, has announced the winners of the 2010 Australian Vocational Student Prize and Prime Minister’s award for Skills Excellence in School.
Year 11 and 12 students enrol and attend the College in a full time capacity adhering to all the guidelines of discipline and uniforms. The focus is "Excellence while getting a Trade" which generates a unique campus atmosphere.
They are provided with an opportunity to start their career (at Certificate III level of their chosen trade) at the end of Year 10 and study for their Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) at the same time.
The very successful "4 weeks-at-work and 4 weeks-at-College" rotational model for trade training and curriculum delivery, developed to suit the needs of the students and employers, accelerates trade training and subsequently full time placement for Business and Information Technology trainees.
Trade training delivered by industry-current trainers in the College's industry-standard facilities on site is very convenient for the students and also gives them the edge compared to most trade training delivery methods in the school-based environment.
The Minister for School Education, the Hon Peter Garrett MP, has announced the winners of the 2010 Australian Vocational Student Prize and Prime Minister’s award for Skills Excellence in School.
The announcement of the Australian Defence Technical Scholarships has seen the ATCNB take out 35 scholarships, an increase of 20 on last year.
