Our workforce

The ACT Education Directorate has a future-focused workforce that embraces and values a diversity of ideas, backgrounds, and experiences.  There is an incredible breadth and depth to the many rewarding career opportunities the Directorate has to offer. 

The roles we are highlighting through the Year13 Expo are just a hint to the great jobs you might consider aiming for, and if you are still in school, you should definitely look into doing an Australian School-based Apprenticeship!

There is also some great ACT public service programs the directorate is involved in that you might be interested in checking out more info on. 

 

Australian School-based Apprenticeships

Australian School-based Apprenticeships (ASbA), also known as school-based apprenticeships and traineeships, are just like any apprenticeship or traineeship - but they commence part-time as part of your secondary schooling. You will earn a wage, train with an employer, and work towards an accredited qualification, all while completing your senior secondary certificate.  Who doesn’t want to check out a job or industry you’re interested in, in real life, before you’ve even finished Year12!

When you do an ASbA, you're setting yourself up to leave school with a resume that is so impressive, it will have employers second-guessing how old you are!
