Central Regional TAFE offer Vocational Education and Training courses to Secondary Students (VETDSS).  These courses are for year 11 and 12 students attending school. The programs provide students with a nationally recognised VET qualification whilst they complete their Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE). It is also a great opportunity to gain a better understanding of a specific career pathway and develop industry specific skills which will get students ready for the workplace.  VETDSS pathways are the perfect introduction into the world of work. Students will have the opportunity to learn in an adult environment with students of all ages and diverse backgrounds. Attendance is usually one or two days a week and students attend school for the remainder of the week as normal. Students learn practical skills in year 11 and 12 while gaining an insight into the needs of the workplace. Success in the program can lead to employment or give you a head start in further studies and other nationally recognised qualification.​
