Murray Mallee LLEN interviewed local student Alana Bookham who is based in Swan Hill and currently doing a School Based Apprenticeship & Traineeship (SBAT) with GMG Financial Group. We also interviewed local Senior Accountant Ashley Edwards from GMG Financial Group. Alana and Ash tell us a bit about an SBAT and the benefits that are involved.
GMG Financial Group together with other Swan Hill Accounting firms support the Murray Mallee LLEN”s “Set Your Heart on a Career in Accounting” work experience program. The program enables Year 10 secondary students to gain firsthand experience in an accountancy or financial services firm.
GMG Financial Group then follows up further support for young people to pursue a career in Accounting by offering School Based Apprenticeship opportunities to students.

An SBAT program runs under a contract with an employer and has a training plan registered with the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA). The training must lead to a nationally recognised qualification.
The vocational training components of SBATs also contribute credit towards a senior secondary certificate. Many school based apprentices and trainees move on to a full-time contract with their employer after leaving school, while others choose to continue their education and training at a registered training organisation (RTO) or university.
SBATs are available to secondary school students who are;
- Over 15 years old
- Enrolled in Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) or the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL)
- Australian Citizens or Permanent residents
SBATs offer students the option of combining;
- Part-time employment
- School, and
- Training
Benefits of employing a School-based Apprentice or Trainee include;
- Recruit keen young staff before they graduate from high school.
- Employ and train a young person part-time in your business.
- Meet the current and future skills need of your business.
- Give a young person realistic exposure to your industry.
