If your child is still considering whether a career in automotive is the path they want to go down, don’t worry, options are available for them to have a go and trial different careers before committing to anything further.

Registered Training Organisations (RTO) around Queensland regularly host short, introductory training courses, both accredited and non-accredited, that deliver a hands-on taste of the many tasks and roles performed in an automotive workplace. To find your nearest RTO, and find out more about the short training courses they run for high-school students, visit the National Careers Institute’s MySkills Training Provider Search.

Alternatively, many schools offer VET in Schools opportunities for students in addition to school based apprenticeships and traineeships.
