Vet In Schools

Vocational Education and Training in Schools are programs undertaken by school students as part of the senior secondary certificate that provide credit towards a nationally recognised VET qualification within the Australian Qualifications Framework. The training that students receive reflects specific industry competency standards and is delivered by a Registered Training Organisation or a school in partnership with a Registered Training Organisation. A key success of VET in Schools is the integration of vocational options within the traditionally academic studies at the senior secondary school level. VET in Schools programs allow Year 11 and 12 students to:

• develop industry specific skills
• gain nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training qualifications and units of competency while still completing their senior secondary school qualification
• develop employability skills and an understanding of the world of work
• gain an understanding of the world of work which is valuable experience to assist with planning and pursuing their career pathways.

As a registered Training Organisation, Wimmera HUB is able to offer a range of accredited courses for VET students.

Deadly Ute Program

The Deadly Ute Project is aimed at Koorie boys and girls aged 14 to 19, who may or may not be engaged with school. The project uses practical tasks in modifying and decorating a ute to teach Koori youth a wide range of skills and provide opportunities they may otherwise not have access to.

Under the umbrella of an Adult and Community Education (ACE) organisation (the Wimmera HUB) and the University of Ballarat, the project offers learners the chance to study subjects from:

• Certificate II in Automotive Studies
• Certificate II in Creative Industries
• Certificate III in Business
• Certificate II in General Education for Adults
• Certificate II in Visual Arts

They also receive a broad range of skills that will open up further study options or employment pathways. In addition they gain skills in multimedia production, communication, publicity and business.

Traditional artwork to paint the ute is used as part of the Visual Arts, Craft and Design Units, where participants are assisted by an experienced Koorie artist.
