Intro to VET Courses

Introduction to Vocational Education and Training (VET) at Dominic

É«ÇéÖ±²¥ is a member of the Consortium of Catholic Schools who were granted funding for the development of a Trade Training Centre. Year 10 students at É«ÇéÖ±²¥ have access to accredited VET units. This project is aimed at addressing the skills shortages in our community. This project also allows us to strengthen our links with industry and local business. Students who take up this opportunity for skill based training will be able to gain qualifications while at school and college and then will be able to transition from college straight into apprenticeships. GYC is the Registered Training Organisation (Guilford Young College RTO No. 1129) and these qualifications are recognised Australia-wide. Students wishing to do a VET course will be required to participate in an application and interview process to gain a place in this course. This is a relatively informal process, giving students the opportunity to articulate their reason for choosing to do a VET course and their commitment to the course.
