How will the ATC-G help my child?
One of 25 Australian Technical Colleges (ATCs) around the country backed by the Australian Government, the ATC-G gives Year 11 and 12 students the chance to undertake an Australian School-based Apprenticeship (ASbA). By combining academic, vocational and technical education and training, with paid employment, each ATC-G student:

		works towards completing their Year 12 certificate;
		gains practical experience of what they are studying;
		participates in a combination of school, paid work and on- and off-site training;
		has the option to complete prerequisite subjects for further study
		starts an apprenticeship while still at school, and
		establishes an important link to the working world.

Most students find it easier to study subjects they enjoy and take pleasure in putting what they learn into practice. The ATC-G employers agree that the combined work/study approach will also help with life skills like problem solving, time management and general organisation. Your child will mature as they gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, in a safe, supportive and caring environment.

The ATC-G curriculum is not limited to specific trade skills training. There is a strong commitment to provide students with the opportunity to learn life skills, business knowledge, communication skills and a strong work ethic. In short, the ATC-G offers a complete education.
