PROVIDING SKILLS & OPPORTUNITIES

The Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses provide opportunities for students to:

• Acquire a range of technical, practical, personal and organisational skills valued both within and beyond the workplace.

• Acquire underpinning knowledge and skills related to work, employment, and further training.

• Gain experiences that can be applied in a range of contexts, including work, study and leisure.

• Make informed career choices and improve transition from school to work

VET courses contribute to the broad education of students. They have the capacity to engage and challenge students to maximise their individual talents and capabilities for further education and training, as well as lifelong learning.

By carefully targeting Vocational Education and Training (VET) at St Philip’s Christian College, we seek to help students to develop industry-recognised skills, and to engage in practical and meaningful education while still studying at school.

A large part of the education in VET is hands-on training which provides a link between education and the working world.

Research shows that students who undertake VET as part of their HSC have better job prospects through the development of practical, work related skills that will make them more employable.

WHY CHOOSE VET?

VET provides skills and qualifications for all types of employment. VET Courses not only appeal to the interests and aptitudes of young people, they also reflect the realities of the job market and the shifting demands for skills and training.

HSC VET courses are intended to broaden the range of curriculum offerings and provide our students with an alternative pathway to work and further education.

VET Courses are dual-accredited courses designed to combine HSC studies with training and experience in the workplace. This means the courses are endorsed by NESA and the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA).

At St Philip’s Christian College, students can choose from a range of vocational curriculum courses which are outlined in this book.

St Philip’s Christian College has experienced educators trained to deliver and assess these courses at the school.

VET courses have a mandatory work placement component, which is undertaken in the workplace.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS HAVE MADE A REAL DIFFERENCE IN THE

LIVES OF COUNTLESS YOUNG PEOPLE

WHAT ARE SCHOOL-BASED APPRENTICESHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS?

School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBATs) provide a school-to-work pathway that allows students to undertake training in conjunction with employment in order to enhance their skill level and future employment prospects. At the same time, they gain credit towards their HSC.

School based apprenticeships and traineeships provide students with the opportunity to attain nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training qualifications as well as their HSC and gain valuable work skills and experience through paid employment.

SBATs offer students the chance to undertake an apprenticeship or traineeships while still at school. Students who take up this opportunity would still follow the school’s academic program, attend school, and achieve their HSC. However, in addition to this, they would be contracted to an employer as an apprentice or trainee.

SBAT trainees are required to complete additional days of on-the-job training (based on course) in the form of paid employment during Years 11 and 12, as well as their studies for the HSC and vocational qualifications.

This work is paid at traineeship rates and governed by a State or Federal award as specified in the Training Contract. This provides a school-to-work pathway that allows students to undertake approved training in conjunction with employment in order to enhance the student’s skill level and the future employment prospects.

State Training Services will issue a job qualification known as a Certificate of Proficiency to show off-the-job and on-the-job formal training.

If a student wishes to pursue a career in this industry after Year 12 and is successful in gaining further employment, credit is given for the complete apprenticeship or traineeship.
