ASBAs are Australian School-based New Apprenticeships
- An ASBA is a government-sponsored agreement between the student, his/her parents, the school, the employer, and perhaps an external RTO such as CIT.
- At Radford an ASBA can be added to an Accredited Package.
- It may involve 3 to 5 days at school, and 1-2 days at work/ training.
- Thus an ASBA student can graduate with a Certificate I and II as well as an ACT Year 12 Certificate.
- ASBAs at Radford have been in Tourism, Hospitality, Floristry, Automotive, Horticulture, Disability, Business, Desktop Publishing, Sport and Recreation.
- Where an ASBA is not available in a trade/service identified by a student as a career pathway, work experience may be negotiated.
