VET Program – Building Skills for Life and Work
At Mitchelton Special School, our VET (Vocational Education and Training) program supports students in developing practical, hands-on skills that prepare them for future employment, further education, and independent living.
We currently offer:
Certificate I in Sport and Recreation – introducing students to the fundamentals of working in the sport and fitness industry, with a focus on teamwork, communication, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
AVP (Accessible Vocational Pathways) – a highly supported and flexible course that helps students develop core employability and life skills tailored to their individual strengths and goals.
Our VET courses are tailored to meet individual student goals and abilities, with a strong focus on real-world experiences. Through supported work placements and community engagement, students build confidence, independence, and nationally recognised skills.
We work closely with local businesses, TAFEs, and community partners to ensure meaningful pathways for each student.
The VET program is a key part of our commitment to helping every student find their pathway to adulthood, whether that means open employment, supported work, further training, or meaningful engagement in the community.
