VET offers the opportunity for students to gain a well-rounded, skills based, education as well as to establish links to a career. All industry sectors are dependent on encouraging young people to take up the training, education and employment pathways they offer, and school-based VET is integral to young people establishing these industry links. VET plays a vital role in building the region’s skills base and in enhancing young people’s transition to the workplace and a great future. These Awards celebrate excellence in skills development and encourage young people to perform at their best in their chosen VET course.
