VET (Vocational Education and Training) 2025
43 students across years 10, 11 and 12 have commenced VET courses this week. VET courses are run at Tafe and surrounding Secondary Schools and students will be attending in Seymour, Kilmore, Yea, Euroa, Shepparton, Melbourne CBD and Essendon. These courses are a fantastic opportunity for students to study in an adult learning environment and learn valuable practical hands-on skills.
We also have three Year 12 students currently undertaking School Based Apprenticeships at a Certificate II level in Light Vehicle Mechanic, Hospitality and Retail.
We wish all of our VET students a very successful year.
