As part of QPSC's academic program, students may undertake Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses in combination with applied syllabus subjects and short courses.
VET is study and training that enables students to acquire workplace skills, through nationally recognised training, described within an industry-developed training package. VET supports students to gain qualifications for employment and is designed to help them develop the skills they need to enter and succeed in the workplace. VET qualifications can be undertaken in Years 10, 11 and 12 and may provide credit towards the QCE. They are taught by industry experts and are delivered by:
- Government-run TAFE (Technical and Further Education) institutes
- Independent Registered Training Organisations (RTOs)
- Dual-sector universities that provide both VET and higher education programs.
