VET in Schools
VET in Schools (VETiS) refers to Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses undertaken as part of secondary school studies.
VET Programs assist students to make the transition to further education, training and employment. Many programs are based on entry level TAFE courses. These programs are designed so that students can develop general work related competencies and the skills and knowledge required in a particular industry.
VET Programs:
- A nationally recognised vocational certificate;
- Counts towards the VCAL;
- Develop general work related competencies e.g. skills in communication, team work, using information and communication technology, problem solving, using mathematical ideas and concepts, planning and organising activities, gathering and analysing information and occupational health and safety;
- Develop the skills and knowledge required to work in a particular industry; and
- Give students a competitive edge in looking for both casual and full time employment.
