What is VETDSS?
Vocational Education and Training (VET) provides secondary school students with an opportunity to gain a nationally recognised qualification that contributes to Year 11 and 12 results. These programs are delivered by trainers with expert knowledge in the field and increase students’ employability skills.
Allowing students to work towards qualifications for all types of employment, and gain sector-specific skills to help them in the workplace.
Undertaking VET while at school gives students the opportunity to mix general and vocational education preparing them for a career before they leave school.
Students will gain practical skills in a specific industry while contributing towards the completion of the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), including the VCE Vocational Major.
Students can also study VET through school-based apprenticeships or traineeships (SBATs) or part-time apprenticeships and traineeships. In government schools, all SBATs are supported by the Head Start program.
