Vocational education and training (VET) in schools
Did you know it is now possible to study towards a TAFE course while you are still at secondary school?
The VET in VCE programs (VET stands for vocational education and training) enable students to combine general VCE units with VET modules, either delivered at their school or at a Registered Training Organisation, such as a TAFE institute.
A major advantage of the VET in the VCE programs is that they often include industry work-placements to give students practical, hands-on training and experience.
On completion of VET in the VCE programs, students receive:
- A Victorian Certificate of Education from the Board of Studies
- Eligibility for an enhanced Equivalent National Tertiary Entrance Rank (ENTER)
- A nationally-recognised training qualification at an appropriate Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) level, issued from a Registered Training Organisation
- A statement of results listing all VET modules/units of competence completed, issued by the Board of Studies
- Credits towards further courses.
Kangan Batman TAFE is one of Victoria's major providers of VET in Schools training. We also work in conjunction with secondary colleges and employers to arrange work placements for students, which are a key component of the VET in Schools programs.
Kangan Batman TAFE has also developed VET in Schools programs for students in Year 9 and 10, such as Taster Programs, which allow them to gain a taste of possible future careers.
