What is VET?
VET aims to provide people with the skills and knowledge they require to:
² enter the workforce for the first time
² re-enter the workforce after absences
² train or re-train for a new job
² upgrade their skills
² move into further study in VET or university.
VET offers a range of nationally recognised qualifications, from certificates that can be completed in a relatively short time through to advanced diplomas that generally require two years of post-school study.
Who can apply for VET?
In most Australian states, anyone over 15 years of age can access VET. Around half of all school leavers undertake vocational training within a year or two after leaving school. Over half of all students undertaking VET are over the age of 25 years and the vast majority of VET students study part-time.
