St Patrick’s Technical College, Edinburgh North SA – Champions of Change

St Patrick’s Technical College is an advocate for vocational education, providing students with real hands-on experiences, flexible learning pathways and skilling young people for jobs now and of the future.

The opportunity for students to gain a head start on their transition to employment not only provides young people with a skilled career but creates a pipeline of skilled workers for decades to come.

The college’s main charter is to assist students in completing senior secondary school while concurrently undertaking VET studies either at school or with an employer through an apprenticeship or traineeship. 

The college works diligently to strengthen existing partnerships with business and industry to develop deep relationships and a shared awareness that provide the best possible outcomes for Australia’s future workforce.

In 2017, St Patrick’s Technical College became South Australia’s first and only P-TECH (Pathways in Technology) school. The Australian Government invested $5.1 million into the P-TECH pilot model of education-industry collaboration, providing secondary school students with an industry supported pathway exploring the world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Partnerships between the college and industry have provided many opportunities for students to engage with the world of work and better understand the relevance of their learning, local employment opportunities and post-school pathways. 

The college continues to pave the way in providing exceptional student candidates for apprenticeship and traineeship opportunities, ensuring the state has a skilled workforce now and in the future.
