Choosing your career
VETDSS pathways are the perfect introduction into the world of work. You will learn practical skills in year 10,11 and 12 while gaining an insight into the needs of the workplace. You will attend one of our VETDSS classes one or two days a week and for the rest of the week participate in your normal school program where you will still benefit from the educational and social support provided by your school.
Success in your program can lead to immediate employability by graduating with a nationally accredited qualification, or you will have a head start in other nationally recognised qualifications. As you continue your study pathway to higher-level qualifications, your opportunities for further study will increase, leading you to be able to specialise in an industry or continue to higher education and university studies.

Education Support Courses (Partial Completion)
We're committed to providing inclusive learning environments for students of all abilities.
We have courses suitable for education support students. However, if you need classroom support at school, your school is expected to send an education assistant with you. If you’re unsure about your suitability for a course, please discuss this with your school VET Coordinator and your parent or guardian.
Applications for 2024 Education Support programs opened 5 September 2023.
