St Patrick's Tech commended in national awards.

St Patrick’s Technical College has received a commendation from the National Growth Areas Alliance (NGAA) during their 'Growth that Works' congress held in Adelaide this month.  The specialist trades and technical College, operated by Catholic Education SA, was recognised for ‘Developing Apprenticeship Skills in Northern Adelaide’.

The commendation was awarded in the Skills Development category of the inaugural NGAA Awards which recognises ‘projects or actions that provide skills for the jobs of the future’ in outer metropolitan growth areas.

The commendation from the judges reads:

St Patrick’s Technical College provides students with placements into the industry sectors of their choice and curriculum that is tailored for industry needs. A significant number of students have been successful in gaining an apprenticeship, helping to address skill development needs for the Northern Adelaide region. The College has been recognised as an exemplar for the development of skills in young people resulting in trade apprenticeships, particularly those in skills shortage areas.
