Northern Bay College encourages students to find success on whatever pathway best suits their individual strengths and interests. One of the best ways to do that is to gain employment experience and industry training, and one of the best ways to do that is by undertaking a School Based Apprenticeship / Traineeship – SBAT.
SBAT’s are a combination of training and work experience that is completed outside of normal Northern Bay College classes. Most students who undertake an SBAT are given an allowance in their timetable to be able to attend.
There is a large variety of programs on offer, with most filling very quickly, so students are encouraged to make their choices early. Alternatively, students are very welcome to find their own employer and Northern Bay College will assist everyone involved to set up personalised SBAT program.
