PARTNERSHIPS FOR LEARNING
PARTNERSHIPS FOR
LEARNING
NEVO is a partnership made up of Department
for Education and Child Development (DECD) and
non-DECD secondary schools, which provide a
wide range of Vocational Education and Training
(VET) courses to Year 10, 11 and 12 students in
North East Adelaide. The job-related courses will
increase pathway options for students through
the provision of VET choices linked to the Industry
Pathways Program.
In collaboration with the North East Trade School
for the Future, NEVO provides curriculum and
learning choices, which support all students in
these schools to achieve the SACE and to provide
pathways, which lead all students to further
education, training and/or employment.
NEVO VET courses are hosted by schools and
Registered Training Organisations (RTO’s) and are
available for students from DECD and non DECD
schools to enrol in. Students stay enrolled at their
Home School, and attend the Host School or RTO
for their NEVO VET course.
