The Government has announced it will postpone implementation of the National Trade Cadetships (NTC) initiative by one year to 2013-14, saving revenues of $12.5 million over two years from 2011-2012.

 

In 2011-12 an NTC Advisory Panel was formed under the leadership of Professor Denise Bradley to guide the development and implementation of the NTC initiative.

 

From 2013, students from Year 9 to 12 will be offered a new Cadetship as an option under the Australian Curriculum. The Cadetship will be delivered through local Trade Training Centres and other eligible venues.
