Purpose
To assist schools with supervising Trade to Teach (T2T) interns by providing Teacher Relief Scheme (TRS) payments and payment of other expenses associated with the internship (e.g. interpreter fees). Funding for 5 TRS days per annum is allocated to the host school of each intern.
Duration of program
2024–2028
Eligibility
State Schools who have been allocated a T2T Internship Program teacher intern.
Allocation of funds
T2T program interns are allocated to host schools by the T2T Project Team, for their internship year. The interns are allocated towards the end of the year prior to their internship year.
Each intern is allocated a supervising teacher and a mentor teacher. The allocation of Teacher Relief Scheme (TRS) days per intern is:
- 1 TRS day total is allocated for Mentor Teachers per intern for the internship year
- 4 TRS days total are allocated for Supervising Teachers per intern for the internship year.
Therefore, the total per host school is 5 TRS days per intern for the internship year.
Payments of other expenses associated with the internship, such as interpreter fees, will be made on an as needed basis.
