VET for school students: repositioning VET within secondary education in South Australia

To ensure that school students can access high quality vocational education and training (VET), on 13 June 2019 the South Australian Government released 'Vocational pathways to employment: a review of VET for school students' [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 136.1073] to highlight the key challenges facing delivery of VET to secondary school students. Through a six-week consultation period, the review sought community and stakeholder feedback to understand the challenges of delivering VET to school students and identify system-wide improvements. Consultation feedback, together with insights gathered from the senior secondary schooling systems nationally and internationally has informed the development of this VET for School Students policy (the Policy). The policy focuses on three key pillars of reform, each including a number of reform initiatives: (1) Clearly articulated pathways; (2) Enhanced career education; and (3) Improved student outcomes.
