Some students undertake nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) qualifications while they are still at school.
VET is learning which is directly related to work. Nationally recognised qualifications are developed by industry to give people the knowledge and skills they need to work in a particular job.
Students can undertake VET at school:
- • As part of their school studies – delivered and resourced by a school registered training organisation (RTO)
- • By enrolling in a qualification with an external RTO – funded either by the Queensland Government or through fee-for-service arrangements (i.e. where the student or parent pays for the qualification)
Regardless of how it is funded, participation in VETiS does not affect a student’s access to subsidised training post-school through the Career Start — even if the student has completed a Certificate III level qualification at school.
To be eligible for VETiS funding, prospective students must:
- •Be enrolled in year 10, 11 or 12
- • Permanently reside in Queensland
- • Be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident (includes humanitarian entrant), temporary resident with the necessary visa and work permits on the pathway to permanent residency, or a New Zealand citizen
