Vocational Education and Training (VET) at Lumen Christi College promotes the idea that all students have access to high quality pathways to facilitate effective transitions between school, training, further education and employment.
VET is the perfect introduction into the world of work. It develops work, employability and life skills, and broadens their view of career options, along with a realistic understanding of industry expectations.
Each training program we offer will provide students with practical skills and knowledge to be competent in their chosen occupational area. Working alongside TAFE colleges, we seek to provide a diverse range of opportunities ranging from pre-apprenticeship to Diploma level courses.
The involvement in VET gives students the opportunity to gain national accredited qualification upon successfully completing the course.
