Five main benefits of attending a technical college:
1. Industry-centred learning
Training programs are designed and delivered in partnership with top employers, aligned with industry needs and standards. You’ll gain real‑world industry experience – all while you're studying.
Our employer partners include:
2. Guaranteed career opportunities
Graduate into a career, guaranteed. You’ll gain your SACE, VET qualifications and all the skills you need to go directly into a job, an apprenticeship, traineeship, or further study.
At Findon Technical College, you can even complete the first year of a degree at Flinders University while in year 12, fast-tracking your career as an early childhood educator, nurse, allied health professional or engineer.
3. Hands-on experience
You’ll learn in purpose-built facilities, designed like real workplaces, and gain practical, hands-on experience with industry-standard equipment and technologies.
As you progress, you’ll spend more time in the workplace developing the practical skills you need – all while you're studying.
4. On-going support
Our teachers, trainers and mentors all have extensive experience. They bring their passion for the industry to the classroom – giving life to theoretical concepts.
You’ll receive support 12 months post-graduation, throughout your transition to the workforce or further education.
5. Low-cost training
Technical colleges are government-funded and cover all program fees, laptops and uniforms, with students only required to pay the material and services charge.
