Pathways

Students also have access to a wide range of external VET opportunities aligned with their interests and career aspirations. These qualifications allow students to gain valuable industry skills, improve their employability, and earn SACE credits while still at school. In recent years, for example, Investigator students have completed qualifications including their CIII in Legal Services, CIII in Entrepreneurship and New Business or the CII in Electrotechnology.

Investigator College works closely with students, families, employers, and training providers to help balance workplace commitments, training requirements, and academic responsibilities. Our staff provide ongoing guidance and support to ensure students can successfully manage both their apprenticeship and their schooling.

Many families choose to remain at Investigator College while undertaking a school-based apprenticeship because it allows students to benefit from more than just workplace training.

Investigator College’s Investig8 program is delivered during a double lesson every Friday afternoon and allows students in Years 7 to 10 to complete eight semester-long electives across four years of schooling.

The Investig8 Program encourages students to discover new interests, develop transferable skills, and explore areas of learning beyond the traditional curriculum. By the time students reach their senior years, they have a stronger understanding of their strengths, interests, and potential pathways beyond school.
