Now Start Your Trade Education in Australia

Formal education in humanities is to open your mind and in Science or Commerce is to improve your chances of succeeding in a career in business or production or some such. Generally schools and university education is far removed from the reality of real-life careers.  If a young student wants to take up a Trade Career such as carpentry or pottery or electrical fitting services or plumbing services, there is hardly a place where he can learn the ropes of the trade. There is hardly a trade college where he can get some theoretical knowledge and some practical experience.

Once upon a time, the right way to master a trade was to work under an experienced tradesperson for some years and then start your own trade practice. But these days it is difficult to apprentice under a skilled tradesperson such as a carpenter or tailor as individuals in a trade have diminished and usually a trade is carried out by a company which employs skilled and experienced people to do the job while the other corporate functions such as marketing, finances, planning etc. are taken care by other professional employees hired for the expertise. That is why a trade college teaching various trade skills has become important for the student who has a trade career on his mind.

A Trade College would be able to provide the basic requisite skills required for a trade career and also provide a knowledge base of theory and practice that are required before he can be taken up as an apprentice in a company that practices the trade. The trade college can recommend the student for the apprenticeship and get his trade career going!
