At AFL SportsReady, we believe in transforming education by empowering schools with dedicated traineeships. Our program supports schools across Australia by addressing teacher shortages, enhancing student experiences and building a stronger educational community.

• Address Teacher Shortages

  Many schools struggle with maintaining staffing levels due to budget constraints and turnover rates. AFL SportsReady provides cost-effective traineeships to fill essential roles such as administrative assistants, IT administrators, Library assistants, STEAM assistants and Sports Coordinators – just to name a few.

• Reduce Administration

  AFL SportsReady trainees take on crucial administrative tasks, alleviating the workload on teachers and staff. This support reduces burnout and inefficiencies, allowing educators to focus on teaching and engaging students.

• Enhancing Engagement

  Our trainees integrate seamlessly into school life, leading extracurricular activities, mentoring students and fostering dynamic learning environments. This hands-on approach enriches the educational experience and significantly boosts student motivation.

Financial Benefits for Schools
