Vocational Education & Training (VET)

Practical, hands-on learning provides real-world experience in a variety of fields.

Vocational Education and Training (VET) enables students to acquire skills and knowledge for work through a nationally recognised and industry-developed training package or accredited course. Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) deliver, assess and certify VET.

Undertaking VET may benefit students' exploration of a variety of career pathways. It is not just reserved for a pathway within the trades (e.g. plumbing, automotive, and construction) but a diverse range of industries, including business administration, veterinary nursing, aged care or sport and recreation.

VET is an excellent choice of study for many students due to its practical, hands-on nature and can lead to excellent jobs in many fields.

Studying VET as part of SACE gives students a head start toward a qualification which is a great way to fast-track progress towards a rewarding career while also developing independence, confidence and time-management skills.

Moonta Area School partners with external providers such as TAFE and MADEC to provide a range of VET courses for students to access. We also access partnership schools’ VET courses when available. Many students also take up the opportunity for School Based Apprenticeships with local employers which blends their SACE completion whilst completing a qualification in the workplace.
