Vocational Education and Training in Schools Program |

Implementation of VET across Australia is in accordance with the set of nationally agreed principles from Principles and Guidelines for Improving Outcomes for Vocational and Technical Education and Training (VTE) in Schools (2005 - 2008).
Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Schools programs are delivered as part of a broad, general education that combines study towards a senior secondary certificate (i.e. the Western Australian Certificate of Education - the WACE) with a nationally recognised VET qualification within the Australian Qualification Framework.
