VE&T

Vocational Education and Training refers to a system that enables secondary students to combine their VCE with vocational training. Most VE&T studies require students to complete a work placement. This enables them to demonstrate and or acquire skills and knowledge in an industry or business setting. During the work placement students will have specific tasks to undertake in order to demonstrate a range of skills and competencies.

There are currently 36 students enrolled in VE&T Studies at St Kevin's College including Hospitality, Multimedia, Cabinet Making (Furnishings), Engineering, Community Sport & Recreation, Information Technology, Music - Technical Production, Music Performance and Community Service. Students undertake these studies at a host provider school and complete their work placement during school holidays. All programs are run through the Inner Melbourne VE&T Cluster (IMVC). The IMVC is an association of Secondary Colleges from State, Catholic and Independent sectors that have come together to enable the sharing of resources and ideas in the organisation of VE&T programs. This allows small numbers of students from individual schools who would otherwise not be able to undertake VE&T studies to join a program.
