The Educational Pathways Program was launched as a pilot in 24 schools in 2020. As a result of the successful pilot phase, the program is now being delivered in 148 government high schools across 9 regions of NSW.

The Educational Pathways Program complements existing careers education activities through the provision of additional resources, including two key roles; Head Teachers Careers and SBAT Engagement Officers, who work closely with schools to:

• Ensure students have access to sound advice, great training pathways and rewarding work opportunities.
• Promote SBAT opportunities, a proven pathway for students to successfully transition to work and/or further education.
• Match students with SBAT employers and offer tailored support and mentoring for students exploring these pathways.
• Streamline delivery of the program across groups of schools.
• Support students with barriers to education.
