Sport, Recreation & Fitness

Your career is our abmbition

We have created a program combining sport development with an educational pathway through the Sport, Recreation, Fitness and other industries. The program is designed to offer sports minded students a career pathway in their chosen future career while they study through a school-based traineeship.

How is the program delivered?

• Students must first gain support from their school to undertake a school based traineeship.
• AAS work with the trainee to source a host employer, who will supervise and direct students on behalf of AAS.
• A student’s work placement needs to be matched with their qualification that they are studying.
• Once a host employer has been confirmed the school works with the student to modify their timetable to include time for working and training with the Registered Training Organisation.
• Students are required to work a minimum of 7.5 hours per week for a total of 360 hours per qualification.

What are the benfits for students?

• Earn while you learn
• Get nationally accredited qualifications
• Start your future career while study year 10, 11 or 12
• Increase your chance into university, if you are OP ineligible
• Boost your Tertiary Selection Rank Score to 68 through completion of a Certificate III
• Practical hands on and work experience in your chosen career
• Improve your employment prospects with your host employer when you finish your traineeship
• Gain a history of paid employment within the industry of your choice before leaving school
• Opportunity to begin a career early and a smooth transition from school to work
