The Construction Pathways course provides valuable preparation for Year 10 students considering future studies in any construction trade-related area, with a focus on general construction. This program is designed to educate students on the range of career pathways and employment opportunities in the building and construction industry. It is part of the FIP in Construction.

Students are asked to complete:

• Building and Construction Industry Gateways SACE Stage 1 Integrated Learning (10 credits)
• Workplace Learning Placement in the Building and Construction Industry (work experience as part of the PLP or an additional work placement prior to August 2023)

After completing the Construction Pathways course, students may elect to enrol in the Certificate II in Construction VET course the following year.
