Colleges, high schools, New Apprenticeship Centres, the Chamber of Commerce, employers and registered training organisations extensively use these materials in promoting and explaining the school based apprenticeship option. They are promoted and distributed at high school and college information nights, forums such as the Girls Expo, 2003 Canberra Career's Market, the Employment Expo and the University of Canberra.

i. Newspaper, especially advertising that increases Year 10 student/parent knowledge of VET options at college

ii. Purchase of sites at forums such as Careers Market and Employment Expo

iii. Letter box drops to Canberra households

iv. Initiatives such as the myfuture.edu.au pilot whereby students access national career information networks and learn about VET and SNAPs as college options

v. Conducting of forums such as industry links meetings, public parent/student meetings and teacher meetings.
