Student Testimonial
[SBAT Name]
“During my School-Based Apprenticeship (SBAT) With Head Start, I have gained many new skills that I wouldn’t have learned in a traditional classroom setting. This experience has allowed me to explore my dream job firsthand and gain a better understanding of the daily tasks I would perform in a full-time role. Everyone has been incredibly helpful, and I’m excited to continue learning new skills.”

Training Contracts and Training Plans
Head Start Coordinators take the stress out of the SBAT sign-up process by organising:

They help with RTO enrolments, ensure your school receives your Training Plan, and check in regularly with all parties to make sure you’re progressing well while maintaining your studies.
