AISSA 2015 VETiS Funding Submission
Vocational Education and Training in Schools
“VET in Schools programs” are defined as those programs undertaken as part of the Senior Secondary Certificate
(SACE or its equivalent) and provide credit towards a recognised VET qualification within the Australian Qualifications Framework.
This includes School-based Apprenticeships/Traineeships and the Training Guarantee for SACE Students
PART A: 2015 VETiS Funding Criteria
2015 Priority Areas For AISSA
Priority areas for action and reporting in 2015 for VET in Schools (VETiS) funding, include the following:
1. developing strategies to maintain quality standards in delivery, assessment and administration of VET
in Schools (including professional development).
2. increasing the development of quality VET programs in schools, through:
a. establishing VET in Schools programs in schools not previously involved in the delivery of VET
b. expanding the range and spread of VET in Schools courses offered across industry sectors
c.
establishing VET in Schools courses in new industry areas and in industry areas that meet local
needs, and state / national skill shortages.
3. increasing participation in VET in Schools by students facing barriers. This includes improving access
for students in rural and remote areas and for educationally disadvantaged students including
Indigenous students, young people from a culturally and linguistically diverse background and students
with a disability and/ or special learning needs.
4. improving the information (including career and labour market) about a range of VETiS options and
pathways through SACE or its equivalent.
5. increasing the awareness and uptake of pathways that lead through the Training Guarantee for SACE
Students, Trade Training/Skills Centres and School-based Apprenticeships/Traineeships (SBATs) in
trades, particularly those in skill shortage areas.
Eligibility for VETiS Grants to Independent School
All Independent schools are eligible to receive VETiS funding where programs of accredited VET studies, are
included in the curriculum. These VETiS programs must contribute to the achievement of the SACE (or its
equivalent).
Independent Schools offering access to VET programs as part of the school curriculum are eligible to receive
a VET grant that includes:
 a contribution towards release time for the VET / Career Adviser to attend AISSA’s Vocational
Education Co-ordinators’ Network and Professional Development workshops held each term
 an allocation for release time for the maintenance of quality standards, data collection and resulting;
 support towards the professional development for new VET staff (or updating skills of existing VET
teachers);
 limited resources for establishing new VET courses / TGSS / SBATs (formerly ASBAs); and meeting
the needs of targeted students to access VET Programs not available through other funding options.
Please note: The amount of Commonwealth VETiS funds provided to the Independent Schooling
Sector is insufficient to cover the costs of students accessing purchased vocational education
programs (including brokerage of VET programs). Therefore, the fees and costs of purchased VET
courses needs to be met from other sources. This could include a combination of school contribution
and student contribution, or other sources of funding.
