Upskilling Working Students at the Workplace: Flexible Learning with Axial

For many senior high school students, learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door, it often continues at the family business. Take Bailey, for example: while helping at his family’s tyre shop, Bailey is also working toward his qualifications four days a week with Axial, gaining skills that will prepare him to lead and manage his business in the future.

Why Upskill While Working?

Australia’s workplaces are changing fast, and students who combine real-life job experience with nationally recognised study build practical skills, confidence, and career pathways at a young age. Axial Training’s school-based apprenticeships, traineeships, and VET programs are designed for Year 10, 11, and 12 students who want to grow their knowledge while still contributing to a family business or other part-time job.
