St Patrick's Technical College is a purpose-built trade-focused institution located in Edinburgh North, South Australia. It delivers a trade-relevant SACE curriculum alongside vocational education and training and apprenticeship pathways for Year 10-12 students. Since opening in 2007, the college has worked closely with industry to provide clear post-school career options by combining senior schooling with vocational studies and employer-based training. It offers eight pre-apprenticeship VET programs, including Automotive, Construction, Electrotechnology, Food & Hospitality, Hair & Beauty, Information Technology, Metals and Engineering, and Plumbing. The SACE curriculum is designed to support pre-vocational training, with core subjects taught in context to each trade, developed with input from industry and in association with TAFE SA. In 2017, St Patrick's Technical College launched a P-TECH styled skills-based program to create an industry-supported pathway for students pursuing post-school qualifications in growing employment areas.
