Pre-vocational and pre-apprenticeship courses
Pre-vocational (which means before work) and pre-apprenticeship courses help you develop skills to get a job, or prepare you to become an apprentice or trainee.
Completing a relevant pre-vocational or pre-apprenticeship course not only allows you to see what working in a particular job is like, it may also reduce the term of an apprenticeship or traineeship if you decide to continue your training.
You can study pre-vocational and pre-apprenticeship courses at high school, before commencing an apprenticeship or traineeship or as a way to get a job.
To find information on the pre-vocational or pre-apprenticeship courses available, visit the Queensland Training Information Service website and search for the occupation or industry you are interested in (for example, search for 'mechanic' or 'automotive').
