All about VET
VET stands for Vocational Education and Training.
Opportunities to do VET include School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships. VET engages students in work related learning built on strategic partnerships between schools, training organisations, business, industry and the wider community.
There are three ways of doing VET in the WACE
VET industry specific courses are WACE courses where a full nationally recognised qualification is delivered and assessed according to industry specific standards with mandatory workplace learning included. 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 WACE course unit.
VET credit transfer is where students are enrolled in VET units of competency that are delivered independently of a WACE course. Achievement of these qualifications will count towards WACE completion as unit equivalents.
VET Information for all schools provides information about the Council's VET database.
VETinfoNet http://www.vetinfonet.det.wa.edu.au/home/ provides information about all aspects of Vocational Education and Training in Western Australia.
The Curriculum Council report on Vocational Education and Training in Senior Secondary Education Western Australia 2010 is available to read.
