Vocational Education and Training (VET) Delivered to Secondary Students

Resources

Get VET website

The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority’s Get VET website details a wide range of available education and training opportunities through VET. Schools can access this to ensure they are aware of all the experience and opportunities students can gain through VET. Students can also use the site to make informed decisions for their future.

Targeted VET funding

Government schools

VET programs in government schools are primarily funded through the core student learning component of the Student Resource Package (SRP). To support the higher cost of provision in this area, government schools are also provided with targeted VET funding based on a 6-band model. There is also a rural weighting for students enrolled in schools with a location index of 0.2 and above.

The SRP guide provides an estimate of the component of the SRP that should contribute to the provision of VET programs, as well as outlining how schools may use their targeted VET funding. For information on the 2023 revised VET funding model visit: 2023 student resource package indicative guide (PDF).
