How much do you know about VET?

Every parent wants to see their child succeed in all aspects of their life, including choosing the right career path. What parents do for a living; where they live; their education, knowledge and skills; what they earn; and how they spend their time and money, have a huge influence on their child’s career decision making.

There are many options for young people to choose from so it is important to build awareness of the opportunities that are available for them.

VET stands for Vocational Education and Training and is often overlooked as a less than stellar option for students to become qualified and move into the workforce. However, did you know that VET

• Equips students with real world skills
• Helps students find their place in the workforce
• Gives students industry experience needed by employers

It is important to remember that the career development process begins long before the adult years so it’s vital we debunk common misconceptions about VET pathways.

Vocational Education and Training is one of the most progressive forms of education available to students, yet as demonstrated by our ‘test’, there is a knowledge gap that needs to be addressed.
