VET pathways

The context for VET …20% of all jobs need a university qualification.

60% of all jobs need a VET qualification at Certificate III level or higher.

Australia needs a 3% per annum increase in university and VET qualifications for at least 10 years.

Students are better off if they complete their SACE.

VET within SACEWhen a school student makes a decision to pursue a VET pathway or trade qualification, they are able to start making progress on that pathway as part of their SACE.

Education, training and work are all part of SACE and add value to the young person.

VET pathways provide a seamless transition from school to further study and employment.
