Technical Colleges in Australia

Australia is home to many technical colleges. These schools are designed for students still working on their high school diplomas. Most students enroll in Australian technical colleges while in grades 11 and 12. The educational experience is often treated like that of an apprenticeship so students may learn about trades they may seek as careers. The opportunity to learn about specific and practical skills, like metal engineering, leads many students to stay in school and pursue further learning in the subject. Australia is having difficulty staffing many key jobs that require specific skills. The technical colleges are designed to help remedy this shortcoming.
