The cadetship program is offered to students who are about to complete their higher school certificate and gives them the opportunity to attend a combination of both full-time and part-time university whilst obtaining the essential on-the-job training. 

During the first year of employment first year university students are required to work full time and attend university on a part-time basis.  This ensures that the students gain the practical experience to assist them during their university degree studies.  After the completion of the first full years employment undergraduates are offered the opportunity of working under a sandwich course approach.  Under this approach undergraduates attend university full-time and work part-time for the first six months of the calendar year then during the second half of the year they work full-time and attend university part-time.  This approach allows the undergraduates to complete their university degree quicker than completing it on a permanent part-time basis, whilst permitting on the job training and the gaining of practical experience in the areas taught at university.

Coulton Isaac Barber has been running their cadetship program for over 10 years and as such there are a number of fellow team members who can provide you with valuable assistance with assignments and general guidance.
