Vocational education and training (VET) is an important part of senior schooling for many Queensland students. Approximately 60% of Queensland senior students achieve a VET qualification.
VET provides pathways for all young people, including those seeking further education and training and those seeking employment-specific skills, and may contribute to a QCE.
Students in Years 10–12 in Queensland may access VET through:
- a school, which is also a registered training organisation (RTO)
- a non-school RTO
- school-based apprenticeships and traineeships.
Information about vocational education and training (VET) courses available to students in Queensland can be obtained by contacting the relevant school or visiting www.training.gov.au.
