Overview
VET in schools multiplies opportunities for students. They enable students to complete a nationally recognised vocational qualification as well as contribute towards their VCE or VCAL Certificate. Classroom learning is combined with structured hands-on training and practice in industry. This program will provide students the knowledge and skills to enhance their employment prospects in the building and construction industry. Upon successful completion of the VCE VET program, students have achieved approximately two-thirds of the pre-apprenticeship certificate, comprising the certificate core and some stream specific modules. This provides partial completion of 21844VIC - Certificate II in Building and Construction. Students wishing to complete the entire pre-apprenticeship certificate need to undertake modules beyond the requirements of the VCE VET program.
Chisholm will offer students who have completed the first and second year during years 10 and 11 the option of returning for a third year to complete the remaining units of the Certificate II in Building and Construction and recieve the qualification. Students who complete the VET course in years 11 and 12 will have the option of completing the remaining units over the summer holidays to complete the qualification.
