I did Certificate II in Construction Pathways last year and I am starting a Certificate III in Brick and Block Laying through school. I want to get an apprenticeship after I finish my SACE
Jenny, Year 12

I am undertaking a Certificate II in Engineering (Production Technology) at school and I want to finish my SACE. This is going to help me with my future career options
Ben, Year 11

I want to work outside and VET has given me the chance to learn hands on skills and get a qualification while still finishing my SACE. I am doing Certificate II in Horticulture - it will help me get a school-based apprenticeship.
Thomas, Year 11

I am doing a Certificate II in Kitchen Operations this year and lots of work experience. I want to get a school-based apprenticeship later this year so I can become a chef. Finishing SACE is really important to me.
Holly, Year 11

The best thing about VET is being treated as an adult, and I feel like I am doing something to help my future job prospects.
John, Year 11

I love tinkering with cars at home so my parents suggested I do a VET course in automotive at school. It’s great!
