Inside the TTC Workshop

Highly Recommended.SWL Recognition is available to VCAL and VCE students who are undertaking a VCE VET program. Students who complete 10 days full-time equivalent work placement in their VCE VET industry area and the three sections of the Workplace Learning Record may be eligible for one VCE credit at Units 1 & 2 level or one VCAL general credit.

Structured workplace learning complements the training undertaken during class time. It provides the context for: • Enhanced skill development • Practical application of industry knowledge • Assessment of units of competency/modules as determined by the

RTO • Increased employment opportunities.

Structured Workplace Learning

Contribution to VCE & VCAL VCE

Students will receive four VCE VET units at 1 – 2 level, and one VCE VET 3 – 4 sequence.

Students wishing to receive an ATAR contribution for the Units 3 and 4 sequence of a VCE VET program must undertake scored assessment for the purpose of achieving a study score.

This study score can contribute directly to the ATAR, either as one of the student’s best four studies (primary four) or as a fifth or sixth study. Where a student elects not to receive a study score, no contribution to the ATAR will be available.

VCAL

Contribution to VCAL is determined by the number of units of competence successfully completed. When a student has been assessed as competent in units totalling 90 nominal hours, this will contribute one VCAL unit towards satisfactory completion of VCAL. Students can receive up to 4 VCAL credits for VET Furniture Making.

This program will satisfy learning outcomes for the Industry Specific Skills and Work Related Skills strands of VCAL.

Future Career Opportunities

PROFILE: Opportunities in this industry in Sunraysia are mainly limited to working as a cabinet maker. Other specialisations include upholstery, furniture restoration, coffin making or other wood machinist jobs.

OUTLOOK: The number of people working as Cabinetmakers (in their main job) is about the same as 5 years ago and is expected to stay about the same over the next 5 years: from 24,900 in 2018 to 24,900 by 2023. Job openings can come from new jobs being created, but most come from turnover (workers leaving).

SKILLS & TRAINING: Apprenticeships are the standard pathway to employment in cabinet making.

More generally, employers look for workers that have a good attitude, strong work ethic, capacity to meet the physical requirements of their role and are ‘mechanically minded’.
