Trade Training Centre

The Mackay Christian College Trade Training Centre (MCCTTC) is an exciting facility that provides opportunity for students who enjoy practical learning and have a desire to learn more about the Construction and Engineering industries.

Trade Pathway

The MCCTTC Trade Pathway program is focused on three core aspects: work readiness, safety and employability. This program is specifically tailored to meet the current needs of industry and to equip and prepare students for their preferred career choice.

Students who wish to participate in this program full time will need to select Building & Contruction Skills and MEM20413 Certificate II in Engineering Pathways along with Industrial Graphics. Students are then able to select any subject on the remaining elective line. Students who choose to participate in this program will be expected to be at school and working by 7:00am when specified, and to take full advantage of work placement opportunities with local companies, businesses and organisations.

Individuals who choose to apply for a Trade Pathway will need to attend an interview with a parent/s or carer and Director of Trade Training Centre. This is to ensure that the participant and their parent/s or carer are fully aware of the processes and expectations of the TTC program.

Single Pathway

MCCTTC also offers a single pathway option to those students who are not necessarily seeking a job in the trade industry but want to learn some practical skills or those who are hoping to study in one of these fields at university or TAFE after school.

Industrial Technology Skills is offered as Single Pathway. Students undertaking this subject are encouraged to choose the Industrial Graphics subject to support this option. Students who choose to participate in this program will be expected to be at school and working by 7:00am when specified.

Individuals who choose to apply to become a Single Pathway student will need to apply through the normal subject selection process and are also required to attend an interview with a parent/s or carer and Director of Trade Training Centre. This is to ensure that the participant and their parent/s or carer are fully aware of program outlines, processes, and expectations.
