Endeavour College Vocational Education Pathways Program

Our Vocational Education Pathways Program provides opportunities for students to participate in training aimed at preparing them for work or further study in their chosen area. Many of our current Year 11 and 12 students have commenced their vocational programs with our training partners and are developing the skills and knowledge to move into apprenticeships, traineeships, paid work and further education at the completion of their schooling. As new VET courses become available details are emailed to senior years students and added to the Careers and Pathways Canvas Page.
