Structured Workplace Learning

Contribution to VCE & VCAL VCE

Students will receive two VCE VET units at 1 – 2 level, and one VCE VET 3 – 4 sequence. Students who complete the third year will be eligible for another two VCE VET units at 1—2 level.

Students completing an unscored VCE VET program who receive a Units 3 and 4 sequence will be eligible for an increment towards their ATAR. This will be calculated using 10% of the lowest study score of the primary four.

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 6 VCAL credits for VET Building & Construction.This program will satisfy learning outcomes for the Industry Specific Skills and Work Related Skills strands of VCAL.

Future Career Opportunities

PROFILE: The Region's construction industry is significant, both in residential and commercial markets, comprising a combination of sole traders, small businesses, subcontractors and large corporations. The workforce in construction is very diverse, spanning electricians, plumbers, carpenters, joiners, plasterers, fencers, painters, surveyors, crane operators, riggers, dogman, concreters and related trades workers and technicians.

OUTLOOK: The outlook on growth is positive but subject to levels of volatility. While forecast population growth is low, residential construction should continue due to reported shortages of accommodation. Similarly, commercial construction and related infrastructure should remain strong due to high forecast growth in horticulture, manufacturing, transport,healthcare and social assistance.

SKILLS & TRAINING: Apprenticeships are the standard pathway to employment in most trades across construction. This is expected to continue with forecast workforce growth.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’.
