2017 VET
Most students completing a VET subject in 2017 attended a VET Orientation session last week.
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.

Youth Central
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.
For excellent job seeking tips, check out the resources at Victoria Youth Central www.youthcentral.vic.gov.au .
