Welcome to Vocational Education
Engage in Disruptive Technology in a real-world context; see and hear how the experts will inspire you to be agents of change for our future world; the experts' passion for their chosen career will ignite a spark in you to investigate jobs of the future.
There is a reason why these trainees look happy. It’s because they have been chosen to participate in the inaugural BAE Systems ASC Shipbuilding Readiness Program, as part of the Hunter Class Frigate Program.
Last Friday night, Xavier College and St Patrick’s Technical College alumni, Tayla Carll, was one of 12 talented young people to take out a Young Achiever Award, in recognition of all she has accomplished. Tayla, 18, won the Outstanding Apprenticeship Award, which aims to highlight those working hard to learn skills in their field and using their apprenticeship to launch a successful career.
She also took out the highly sought-after People’s Choice Award, receiving 25 per cent of the 10,000 public votes. Tayla said the awards, which were announced virtually in an online event, were recognition for all she had overcome.

Have you heard the term - Industry 4.0? What is it and how is it revolutionising our world? Our STEM Project team were curious and visited The SAGE Group at the Tonsley Innovation District. Exploring jobs of the future, introducing disruptive technology which influences those careers, and development of industry/sector collaborations all form part of the foundation behind this STEM initiative.
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!
