VET infographics
Fun new resources for families and schools
APC has developed a suite of free, downloadable info-graphics for families and schools to let everyone know about the opportunities Vocational Educational and Training (VET) offers.
Many students, parents and carers are surprised by the breadth of qualifications and careers that VET includes. It's important that everyone understands the real advantages of the flexible, work-focused learning VET provides, and how highly valued VET is by employers, so that young people, and those who advise them, can make smart choices about the future.
We developed these downloadable info-graphics as part of the Real Skills for Real Careers initiative, in partnership with the Australian Government Department of Education and Training.
These info-graphics are designed for families, students, schools, careers counsellors, teachers, employers and community groups to use. They can be printed or shared digitally. Please share them via your website, student portal, parent communications, social media and noticeboards.
