Education and Training International (ETI) is the international marketing and development arm of the Western Australian government's Department of Education and Training.

Its primary mission is to successfully recruit and enrol international students into Western Australia's public institutions: primary and secondary schools, Tuart and Canning Colleges, and the ten TAFE WA vocational colleges.

Western Australia has 18 metropolitan secondary schools, 2 senior colleges, 2 country secondary schools, and 1 agricultural college able to provide an educational program to international fee-paying students. All government secondary schools are coeducational, catering for secondary students from Years 8 to 12. West Australian government schools provide a quality education system and a caring and safe environment in which students can undertake their educational studies.

Additionally, ETI provides international project services for the Department and TAFE WA colleges and fosters strategic international alliances with national and international education and training providers.

ETI was created in 2004 to consolidate the previously separate international operations of the Department of Education and Training, consisting of TAFE International WA (TIWA), the International Education Unit, and the international operations of Tuart and Canning Colleges.

Intensive English Centres (IECs) provide a specialist 12-month English language program to eligible students who are in the early stages of English language acquisition, primarily those who are newly arrived in Western Australia.

IECs have continuous enrolments and exit students into mainstream schooling at the end of each term (primary) or the end of each semester (secondary). Eligible students who have a background of limited schooling can access support in an IEC for up to 24 months.

ESL Support programs provide support for ESL/ESD students in the mainstream context.

A program is established in a mainstream school where there is a significant number of eligible ESL/ESD students.

ESL Support Programs are located in a number of primary and secondary schools. Eligible students with a background of limited schooling are entitled to extra support.

Teacher Development Schools provide learning and teaching support for classroom teachers.

They are a school-based system resource that provides opportunities to share high-level expertise and classroom innovation across networks and learning communities.

A key area of focus for Teacher Development Schools is to provide support for the successful implementation of the Australian Curriculum.

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.
