Vocational Education and Training

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 certificate IV courses.

The involvement in VET gives students the opportunity to gain national accredited qualification upon successfully completing the course.

In Year 9 students have the opportunity to participate in various career curious workshop sessions and construction programs through CTF and South Metro TAFE. Students are exposed to a variety of different career pathway options.

In Years 11 & 12 students have the opportunity to go out one day a week at a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

To take advantage of the wide range of vocational qualifications, students are encouraged to participate in the VTAFE (VET at TAFE) program linked with a number of Training Providers. Students will attend a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) one day per week and work towards a national accredited certificate at a Cert II, Cert III or Cert IV level whilst completing high school.

Students will be treated in a similar manner to full time students/staff at the TAFE/Training Centre/Work Placement and will need to account for any absences from the TAFE/Training Centre/Work Placement during the pre-negotiated dates of their training. Advance notice of a planned absence should be provided to the TAFE Lecturer/Training Centre Coordinator/Work Placement Supervisor in writing at least one week prior to the absence so that the Training Supervisor can be notified.
