Message from the Managing DirectorWelcome to Pilbara Institute’s guide to vocational educational and training in schools. Vocational Education and Training is a practical option for school students who want an accelerated pathway into the workforce.
There are many different ways to build students’ knowledge, skills and career. A practical way to prepare for work is to consider completing a Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualification while at school.
The VET in Schools programs offered by Pilbara Institute provide the opportunity for school aged students to gain a nationally recognised qualification, while completing their secondary education.
Pilbara Institute is the largest VET provider in the Pilbara and offers a wide range of qualifications for students who choose this pathway.
Programs are offered in Years 10, 11 and 12 and qualifications are available from a range of industries including: beauty, business, horticulture, construction, information technology and resource sector.
Parents play a key role too, and I urge you to discuss your child’s options with their school VET coordinator.
Pilbara Institute is pleased and proud to be working with Department of Education and with the local high schools to equip students with skills and training they need to enter the workforce, either as an apprentice or trainee, or into entry level positions in businesses and other workplaces.
I encourage you to consider the options available for high school students on their path from school to employment. On completion students who participate are eligible for nationally recognised qualification when they leave year 12.

What is VET in Schools (VETiS)?Vocational Education and Training (VET) in schools plays a significant role in providing students with alternative subjects to study in their senior years. VET qualifications see students gain units of competency which that prepares them for entry level positions in the workforce across a range of disciplines. VET pathways are also beneficial in preparing students for apprenticeships in their chosen field. Some subjects and units may be undertaken to determine a student’s interest in a particular pathway and career.
All qualifications offered in the VETiS pathway are nationally recognised qualifications. Training may also be required in a workplace setting or within
the community. Students are provided with practical experience that can help them kick start their careers, or provide pathways
to further study.
Outcomes for StudentsStudents enrolled in a VETiS qualification may use successful completion of that qualification to assist with achieving their WA Certificate of Education (WACE) and gain a nationally recognised qualification and/or units of competency.
These can lead students to further study in Vocational Education and Training once they complete high school; apprenticeships or traineeships for certain areas; or can contribute toward university entry.
