Summer skills for 2020 Year 12 school leavers

Summer Skills campaign banner

A fee-free vocational training and skills support package is available to all NSW Year 12 school leavers this summer.

A new Summer Skills package of fee-free training and skills support is now available to all 2020 Year 12 school leavers.

A range of flexible options are available for Year 12 school leavers catering for different interests and lifestyles. Undertaking a short vocational course can help school leavers learn more about their interests and could lead to the next job.

It has been a challenging and unique year with COVID-19 and other end-of-school pressures and this skills package can help bridge the gap between leaving school and starting the next step in life.

Year 12 leavers can buddy up with friends or join fee-free courses to meet other school leavers with similar interests.

The vocational courses will be available this summer and throughout 2021.

The skills and training support package for school leavers is part of the JobTrainer NSW package.

More information about the support package is available via the NSW Department of Education Summer Skills webpage.
