Step Out Program

Try Bricklaying While at School

Want to try bricklaying while you are still at school? ABBTF offers a unique opportunity for secondary school students in Years 10, 11 and 12 to experience bricklaying in a hands-on training course - the Step Out Program.

This program provides a 'taster' for a future pathway to an Australian Apprenticeship in bricklaying and the potential for a rewarding career in the building and construction industry.

Step Out Programs are held at TAFE SA and FCTA in South Australia. Contact your careers teacher or ABBTF.
