Students weighing up whether to learn a trade or study at university would benefit from a $3.2 million program promised by Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
Ms Gillard announced today that, if re-elected, she would establish a National Cadetship Program for students in year nine to year 12.
The program would be available from 2012, she said during a visit to Richmond High School, where she inspected progress on the trade training centre and met aspiring chefs.
The scheme would cater for students still weighing up whether to learn a trade or apply to university as well as those students set on becoming a trades person.
National trade cadetships would be nationally recognised and would provide credit towards an apprenticeship or further training.
