3 What is VET in Schools (VETiS) VETiS stands for Vocational Educational & Training in Schools programs undertaken as part of their secondary school studies. VETiS programs offer students nationally or state recognised vocational certificates, which are endorsed for recognition in both the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) from the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA). Highlands LLEN VETiS Cluster The Highlands LLEN VETiS Cluster is a partnership between 17 senior secondary education providers (member schools) within the region and the Highlands Local Learning and Employment Network (HLLEN). The region encompasses Bacchus Marsh, Ballarat, Beaufort, Daylesford, Derrinallum, Lake Bolac and Maryborough. Participating members are from all education sectors; government, catholic and independent. We also have participation from students in non-cluster member schools from other regions where space permits. Participating Member Schools Bacchus Marsh College Ballarat Christian College Ballarat High School Beaufort Secondary College Daylesford Secondary College Highview College Loreto College Phoenix R-12 Community College UB Tec Ballarat Clarendon College Ballarat Grammar Ballarat Secondary College Damascus College Derrinallum College Lake Bolac College Mount Clear College St Patrick s College Highlands LLEN VETiS Cluster is located at 36 Camp Street, Ballarat VIC 3350 Cluster Coordinator Stacey Gill How does VET work? A VET in Schools program is usually made up of: VET units of competency: Delivered by a registered training organisation (e.g. TAFE), the students home school or another school within the Central Highlands Region. Contribution to VCE With the exception of English there is no limit on the VET programs that may contribute to satisfactory completion of the VCE. VET may be fully incorporated into the VCE as VCE VET or Block Credit Programs. VCE VET Programs: Are fully recognized within the Units 1 4 structure of the VCE; Have equal status with other VCE studies; May offer scored assessment and provide a study score (selected programs only); All three sequences other than English, can be approved VCE VET Unit 3 & 4 sequences, with study scores; Scored VCE VET programs contribute directly to the ATAR in the Primary 4 or as a 5th or 6th study increment. Entry level VETiS programs are available to Year 10, 11 & 12 students. Please note that preference will be given to suitable Year 11 applicants. This is due to most programs being undertaken over a two year period. Block credit VET programs Students who undertake VET programs not included in the suite of approved VCE VET programs may be eligible for credit towards their VCE. VTAC may award students who receive a Units 3 & 4 sequence through Block Credit recognition a 10% increment towards their ATAR. VET increases students learning potential Broadens VCE/VCAL options; Develops students capacity to make decisions and solve problems; Helps students to gain confidence and improve communication and interpersonal skills through learning in an adult environment; Fosters positive feedback by enabling students to demonstrate specific skills and competency; Matches student interests and career directions through the provision of strong pathways. VET gives national qualification & skills Upon successful completion of the program, students are awarded a nationally accredited vocational training Certificate or Statement of Attainment; VET qualifications may articulate directly into further education and training at TAFE through documented pathway agreements; VET provides access to a range of different technologies related to the type and place of work. VET prepares students for the workforce Multiplies post-school opportunities; Provides the opportunity to trial a career. Helps students explore possible areas of interest which promote further study and work choices; Allows a student to develop strong links with industry and local community employers, i.e. students may be offered part-time/casual work; Improves employment prospects; Helps students gain knowledge of employers expectations and real working conditions; Develops students capacity for cooperation, teamwork and leadership skills development; Assists in transition from school to work.

4 Highlands LLEN Workplace Learning Coordinators Program & Career Hub : is a key feature of VET programs. All students are encouraged to complete a minimum of one week (40 hours) work placement in a related industry. This may involve an employer accepting a student on a one day a week basis or a one-week block. Structured workplace learning enables the student to demonstrate acquired skills and knowledge in an industry setting. During the work placement, a student will have specific tasks to undertake in order to demonstrate competence. They will be regularly monitored and may be assessed on the job. If a student is having difficulties finding a structured work placement Workplace Learning Coordinators will be offer assistance, through the VETiS Cluster, to source a suitable placement. It is the responsibility of the student however, to ensure that all paperwork associated with structured work placements are completed and returned in a timely fashion. Students will need to meet the work placement requirements of the course to the best of their abilities. The Workplace Learning Coordinators Program (WLCP) is a State Government initiative launched to assist students obtaining quality work placements as part of their VCAL, VET and VCE courses. Benefits of workplace learning Practical skill development Builds employer contacts Improves confidence in the workplace Development of personal skills and maturity Preparation for entering the workforce Adds relevant work experience to resume Opportunity to obtain an industry based reference Exposure to workplace dynamics Opportunity to learn about industry practices and procedures Allows skills and knowledge obtained in the classroom to be applied in the work environment How can parents help their teenager? Speak to them about their interests, study areas, career goals and plans for the post school years Encourage them to speak to people you know in your network - friends, family, work colleagues, etc about work opportunities Help them to prepare themselves for the professional workforce by talking to them about your experiences Attend a local PACTS (Parents As Careers Transition Support) workshop (for more information contact the WLCP) Ensure they attend the placement preparation workshops being run in their schools Make an appointment to visit Career Hub Career Information Centre with your teenager (located at the Ballarat Learning Exchange (BLX) in Camp Street).

6 How to apply and general course information 7 Student behaviour Currently, there are approximately 700 students undertaking VET programs through the Highlands LLEN VETiS Cluster. To ensure the success, continuity and availability of VET programs to all students, it is imperative that students abide by the program teacher s rules and the rules of the host school whenever they are on site. This includes meeting requirements in and out of the classroom. Attitude and behaviour are to be at a high standard. 8 Catch up classes Where necessary, students may be required to attend catch up classes after school, during the school holidays or on the weekend.
