VET

Many Lumen Christi students achieve academic success and move on to complete their education in a wide range of degree subjects at university. Others choose alternative routes to employment. Regardless of the route an individual chooses to follow, guidance will be needed along the way. Our well developed pastoral care system and proactive mentoring programme for Year 11 and 12 students enable this to happen. Each student is supported in making the best decisions about their future. A wide range of information and expertise regarding career choice is available within the College.

Recognition of diverse needs amongst students has led to the highly successful development of the VET program at Lumen Christi College.

VET Programme

VET is shorthand for Vocational Education and Training. Taking part in VET courses allows students to obtain TAFE certificates while also working to complete their Curriculum Council Units and secondary graduation requirements. Our courses are selected carefully and aim to help address skill shortages and create opportunities to gain meaningful employment within industry. VET also equips students with valuable points towards TAFE and University Applications.

A Career Education Program begins at LCC in Year 8-10 initially and awards students with a Certificate I qualification in each year group. Students from Year 11-12 can then select VET in the following categories.
a) VET courses at LCC under the instruction of specialised teachers
b) Participation in selected profile courses at TAFE one day per week.
c) School based Pre-apprenticeships
d) School based traineeships
e) Post School Traineeship - full time employment at LCC incorporating a Certificate IV VET qualification.
