Illawarra Partners in Education (iPie) are pleased to announce the opening of their new Trade Training Facilities on December 4. iPie comprises three local comprehensive public High Schools - Warrawong High (WHS), Illawarra Sports High (ISHS) and Figtree High (FHS)  Each school has received funding from the Australian Government to upgrade their Hospitality, Metal and Engineering and Construction facilities to improve vocational training for students across the three schools. Our Trade Training Centre provides 21st century facilities which engage students and provide opportunities to enter into quality training pathways.

The TTC will provide students from Year 9-12 with the opportunity in Construction, Hospitality, and Engineering to Certificate III. Students will have access to quality training in specialist learning areas that are equipped to industry standard and have clear career pathways and enjoy the advantages of ongoing industry contact and support. Students will gain qualifications that will better equip them for employment in valued careers that have a positive future.

The provision of a TTC will provide opportunity for all students and especially school based apprenticeships and traineeships with an increased range of vocational options, thus improving student retention by 80%. The provision of a TTC will provide students with the opportunity to commence clearly defined career paths in occupations that are valued, in demand and provide the potential to earn high incomes. The iPie's location is surrounded by heavy and light industry and a range of commercial businesses which provide traditional career destinations for our students. Many local businesses have offered support for the TTC and in doing so are adding to students' pool of skills that can be utilised nationwide.

The Trade Training centre will be officially opened by Mr Stephen Jones MP, Member for Throsby at Warrawong High School on December 4 at 2.00pm.
