Vocational Education and Training in Schools Program Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Schools programs are delivered as part of a broad, general education that combines study towards a senior secondary certificate with a nationally recognised VET qualification within the Australian Qualification Framework. The specific areas identified as priority areas for VET in Schools for action in the Principles and Guidelines include: - The establishment of VET in Schools by schools not previously involved in the delivery of VET in Schools. - Expanding the range and spread of VET in Schools courses offered across industry sectors by schools already involved in the delivery of VET in Schools. - The establishment of VET in Schools courses in new industry areas and in industry areas currently not well subscribed in VET in Schools. - Increasing participation in VET in Schools by particular student groups that are difficult to reach and/or service, for example, improving access for students in rural and remote areas and for educationally disadvantaged students including Indigenous students and students with a disability. - Developing strategies to maintain quality standards in VET in Schools, including professional development. - Increasing participation in School-Based New Apprenticeships (in WA these are called School-Based Traineeships) and other trades-related vocational courses that relate to skills shortages. - Addressing areas of skills shortage.
