Whether you are starting out in the workforce or looking to move up in your career, there are a range of vocational education and training (VET) options that will help you on your way to tomorrow’s career.

VET is study and training that enables students to gain high quality, nationally recognised qualifications for employment. It is designed to help you get the skills you need to enter and succeed in the workplace. VET is not just for traditional trades, it encompasses hundreds of different occupations and industries including accounting, retail, hospitality, technology and the arts.

A VET course can help you learn a new skill, get a job, or earn money while you learn on the job – through an apprenticeship or traineeship.

The flexibility of VET means that a qualification can be undertaken in schools, in the workplace, and in registered training organisations. VET courses are also available full-time, part-time, online education, distance education, apprenticeships, traineeships and through recognition of prior learning.
