 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.
