Unique Student Identification(USI)
A USI (Unique Student Identifier) is a reference number that creates an online record of your training and qualifications attained in Australia. Current Year 12 students are reminded that you will need a USI number when applying for Commonwealth financial assistance when you enroll at university next year. Some students who have already been studying a VET subject may already have one and it is recommended students create or find their USI via, https://www.usi.gov.au/ ahead of time.
Headstart Program
Head Start is an Apprenticeship and Traineeship pathway for school students, aimed at giving them just that. Head Start allows students to undertake their VCE or VCAL for up to three years so they can spend more time in paid, on-the-job training to develop the skills employers require. For general inquiries please contact our Headstart Coordinator Amanda McMahon on 0428 197 919 or amanda.mcmahon3@education.vic.gov.au
