The Gympie Trade Training Centre (GTTC) was established in Semester 2 of 2014 and is located on the TAFE Gympie campus. Originally formed through a collaborative partnership led by James Nash State High School, the GTTC also included Gympie State High School, St Patrick’s College, Cooloola Christian College, Mary Valley State College, Tin Can Bay P-10 State School, and Victory College. While some schools have since moved on from the partnership, GTTC continues to deliver nationally recognised certificate courses to senior students from the schools that remain actively involved.
Courses
The available courses are designed for students interested in a career in the trade areas of construction, manufacturing and engineering.
Year 11 + 12 (James Nash SHS)
- Certificate II in Furniture Making
- Certificate II in Engineering Pathways
- Certificate I in Construction
- Industrial Graphics Skills
- Essential or General English
- Essential or General Mathematics
During year 11, students spend one day per week engaged in work experience to determine their chosen field of specialisation. Work experience is intended to give students a broader understanding of the trade area they are most interested in pursuing.
In year 12, students spend one day per week studying an additional VET Certificate course offered by TAFE Gympie. The choice of courses depends on student enrolments but can include Plumbing, Electro-technology and Automotive.
The centre operates on the same school days and lesson times as James Nash SHS.
