Vocational Education

The General (VET) Pathway's programme has been developed for those seeking employment, apprenticeships, traineeships or entry into TAFE, while still achieving the Western Australian Certificate in Education (WACE).

The innovative Programme allows the selection from Certificates being offered within the Kalgoorlie region and online options. All students therefore work towards a Nationally Recognised Certificate Qualification. General VET Pathway students are automatically enrolled in WORKPLACE LEARNING which allows 'job sampling' and valuable experience, industry contacts and 'points' towards a future TAFE entry if desired.

The General VET Programme has a compulsory 'work placement' component.
