This video presentation explains how the TAFE pre-apprenticeship system works, following the experiences of two year 10 students, a girl and a boy, as they find out. After speaking to a TAFE counsellor, who advises them on the trade options available to them, the students interview a few apprentices and employers to gauge their opinions of the value of pre-apprenticeship courses. The apprentices admitted they were better prepared for their chosen trade and could take the 12 months off their apprenticeship contract. The employers admitted they prefer to hire pre-apprentices because they are more likely to stay with an apprenticeship contract.The course includes: technical training; skill training, including work experience; trade related subjects; trade maths and communications and personal development. The 'family of trades' is illustrated showing how the Building Construction Industry skills courses interrelate.
