All about VET
VET stands for Vocational Education and Training.
Opportunities to do VET, such as School Apprenticeship link Program and School Based Traineeships will continue. With a shortage of trade skills and the increase in the school leaving age, VET is more relevant than ever.
There are three ways of doing VET in the new WACE
VET industry specific courses are courses where a whole training qualification is delivered and assessed according to industry-specific standards with additional required workplace learning and an optional exam. Achievement of these qualifications will count towards the WACE as Council developed units.
VET integrated in courses involves students undertaking one or more VET units of competency concurrently with a course.
VET stand alone is where students are enrolled in a national training package qualification/units of competency that are not part of a course. Achievement of these qualifications will count towards WACE completion as council endorsed units.
VET Information for all schools provides information about the Council's VET database.
