At San Damiano College, we are committed to equipping students with the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to succeed beyond the classroom. Guided by our Franciscan tradition, our Vocational Education and Training (VET) program values practical learning, personal responsibility and service, supporting students to discover pathways that align with their interests, strengths and future aspirations.
Our VET program is designed to offer practical, hands on, real world learning experiences that prepare students for further training, employment and meaningful participation in the workforce. Whether students are interested in trades, technology, healthcare, aviation or business, the diverse range of courses available in 2026 ensures that each learner can pursue a pathway that supports their individual career goals.

School-Based Apprenticeships & Traineeships (SAT)
School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships provide students with the opportunity to enter employment as an apprentice or trainee while completing their senior studies. Most learning occurs on the job, complemented by the completion of a Certificate II or III qualification through self directed assessment modules. Training and assessment are supported by a case manager employed by the Registered Training Organisation (RTO) delivering the qualification.
San Damiano College values strong partnerships that broaden learning opportunities for students. Through flexible timetable arrangements, students may study accredited courses off campus on Wednesdays, allowing them to access specialist facilities and industry expertise.
We are proud to partner with TAFE Queensland, UNIQ You, private RTOs and universities, enhancing our VET offerings and ensuring students are supported with quality training, resources and authentic pathways into further education and employment.
Together, these opportunities reflect San Damiano College’s commitment to nurturing capable, confident and compassionate young people, prepared to contribute positively to their communities and the wider world.
