Description
The qualification MEM20422 provides students with an introduction to an engineering or related working environment.
Students gain skills and knowledge in a range of engineering and manufacturing tasks which will enhance their entry-level employment prospects for apprenticeships, traineeships or general employment in an engineering-related workplace.
Typically commencing in Year 11 and delivered in the school workshops, during normal school hours as a part of the student’s regular school timetable, the course is completed over a period of two (2) years. A student can only participate in a Blue Dog Training VETiS program with the permission of their school.
Application
The learning program should develop trade-like skills but not attempt to develop trade-level skills. As an example, the outcome level of welding skills from this qualification is not about learning trade-level welding theory and practice; it is about being introduced to welding, how it can be used to join metal and having the opportunity to weld metal together. Similarly with machining, the outcome should be something produced on a lathe etc, not the theory and practice of machining. The focus should be on using engineering tools and equipment to produce or modify objects. These needs be done in a safe manner for each learner and those around them.
Eligibility - Cost
The Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT) provides funding for secondary school students to complete one (1) approved VETiS qualification while at school, referred to as ‘employment stream’ qualifications.
This means that if a student is eligible, the course is provided to them fee-free. To be eligible to enrol in a Blue Dog Training VETiS program, students must:
• be currently enrolled in secondary school
• permanently reside in Queensland
• be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident (includes humanitarian entrant), temporary resident with the necessary visa and work permits on the pathway to permanent residency, or a New Zealand citizen
• not already completing or have already completed a funded VETiS course with another registered training organisation.
In situations where a student is not eligible for VETiS funding, under the DESBT funding arrangements, fee for service arrangements are available for students through Blue Dog Training. Fee for service cost = $1200.
