2019 VET

Most students completing a VET subject in 2019 attended a VET Orientation session, on Wednesday 5 December.

Students were informed about the requirements of their particular course and in some instances were required to complete important enrolment paperwork.

Students who missed this session are required to contact the course provider directly and obtain any work or information that they may have missed.

About 80% of all job vacancies are not advertised, so it is crucial that you market yourself to businesses with an excellent resume and cover letter.

Make sure you tell as many people as possible that you are looking for work as often employers rely on ‘word of mouth’ to recruit for their positions.
