The College provides a school-to-work transition program, the Workplace Studies Program, that enables students to incorporate vocational studies as a part of the NTCET and assists students to access school-based apprenticeships, full-time apprenticeships plus further training and employment.
The Workplace Studies Program is structured to allow students to more easliy complete relevant nationally accredited VET competencies and also fulfil the Stage 1 and Stage 2 pattern requirements for the NTCET. As all students have different needs the program caters for this as students embark on individual programs that are tailored to the outcomes they require. Flexibility is required in order to cater for VET subjects and workplace structures.
Students can be School Based Apprentices (SBAs). The school can provide the flexibility to allow students to undertake structured work placements part-time and attend school part-time. They will also complete VET studies as required. This allows the SBAs to work towards completing their apprenticeship while also working toward their NTCET. This is a flexible, individually negotiated program.
The Arrernte people are the traditional owners of Mparntwe, which we know as Alice Springs. They have been here since time began. Arrernte people continue to live in Mparntwe, where they look after the country and teach children the Arrernte language and the importance of culture. According to the traditional owners, this place was shaped by caterpillars, wild dogs, travelling boys and many other ancestral figures. Some of the first Dreaming stories ever recorded were those of the Arrernte people of Central Australia. As a College we acknowledge that we are meeting on the traditional country of the Arrernte people, and we pay respect to Elders past and present. We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with the land, which continue to be important to the Arrernte people living here today.
