Young people under 17 years of age - The rules have changed

 Picture promoting the change to the school leaving age from 1 January 2010

From January 2010, a new law in NSW requires students to complete school to Year 10 and then to continue in either full-time education, training, paid employment, or a combination of these until you are at least 17 years of age.

Once you have completed Year 10, TAFE NSW can provide vocational training with learning support to help you to get a job or go on to further training. If you need help choosing a course, just give the OTEN Counselling and Careers Service a call on 1300 655 993.

Under exceptional circumstances, TAFE NSW will offer Certificate II vocational courses for a small number of young people who are under 17 years of age and have not completed Year 10. You will need to seek exemption from your school. To gain an exemption, you need to demonstrate your ability and skills to study in an adult learning environment and interest in specific vocational qualifications.

Further information is available:

If you are unable to find the information you need contact Sue Westbrook, Director Education, Employment Preparation, Pathways and Equity on 9208 1728 or 9208 1726.



Girls, who wouldn't want to work with technology?

There are heaps of Information Technology (IT) jobs all over the world. You don't have to work in a boring office. IT is expanding into everything from film, television and music to the hospitality, recruitment, airline and travel industry. So why do so few girls choose this type of career?

Tech girls are chic, not just geek  is a fun new book aim at school aged girls, showing that it takes all types of people to work in Information Technology (IT). The stories of our 16 ‘tech girls’ highlight women working in a range of technology jobs across Australia. They are a bunch of fun and funky women who find working with technology challenging and interesting, and they are far from fitting the stereotypical 'geek' image portrayed by the media. They use their technical and/or non-technical skills (usually a combination of both) to have a successful career in IT.

Why not have a read and see how your future training and job of the future may lie in Information Technology and the exciting new technology jobs of the future.
