Try A VET Day

Try VET Day

Last Friday, the Charlton Trade Training Centre ran its annual ‘Try VET Day’. The purpose of this day is to give students the opportunity to learn about the VET studies on offer at the TTC, so they can make informed choices regarding their future pathways.

Around 100 students from Boort, Charlton, Donald, East Loddon, Pyramid Hill, St. Arnaud, Wedderburn and Wycheproof attended.

Initially, the students learnt about 3 different industries from a number of guest speakers. We thank the NCLLEN for organising Viv Cossar and Tahlijia Sheahan (Agriculture), Joe Durie and Jackson Zagame (Engineering) and Martin ‘Bluey’ McGeown and Hayley Start (Health) to speak about their respective industries and pathways and share what they have learnt along the way about school and life in general!

Students then had the opportunity to participate in 3 different VET sessions, which gave them some insight into the requirements and content for the studies we have here on offer.

The feedback from supervising staff from our cluster schools, as well as the students, was very positive.

We would like to thank the NCLLEN for their continued support of this important day, particularly Julie Bourke, and the TTC staff who ran a range of interesting and engaging sessions for the students in attendance.

Our next step is to give the students time to consider their choices for 2024 before making important subject selections.
