Vocational Education and Training (VET)

A VCE VET program can be chosen as part of your VCE.  This means that you will be undertaking training in a specific vocational area, for instance Hospitality.  As part of your training, you would complete a work placement that provides you with the opportunity to put your knowledge and skills into practice.  This training will contribute towards a satisfactory completion of your VCE and it will give you a nationally recognised vocational qualification.  The vocational qualification will provide you with access to further training and may improve your chances of getting work when you leave school.
