He is interested in doing an apprenticeship in building and construction, but maybe combining this with part time school if possible. Does anyone have any further info on his options if any or any advice on where i could get further info. thanks in advance.

From what the Year 11 and Year 12's at my school tell me (I am a teacher) getting apprenticeships is not always easy here. I often hear the careers teacher telling the students to do more courses until they are 18 and can get their license. Apparently, employers offering apprenticeships prefer those who can drive! There are lots of TAFE courses, here is a link to one at Box Hill TAFE:http://www.bhtafe.edu.au/Courses/BAB21.htm Swinburne and Holmesglen are other big TAFE colleges: A full list is here: http://www.aa-education.com/tafe-victoria/ Good luck !
