ocational ducation and raining in AIIC
The Vocational and Careers Department was launched at AIIC in May 2020 to increase offerings for senior students and communicate Vocational information with the community. We offer Certificates at school and options for Higher education and pathways to university, as well as career advice for students past and present. Vocational offerings add immense value to the education facilities we already offer at AIIC. We will be offering several Certificates and Skill Sets to our students in Years 10, 11 and 12, which will give them ‘real world’ skills, extra QCE points and contribute to ATAR. The first course at Durack commenced in July 2020, a Certificate III in Active Volunteering, partnering with Volunteering Qld. Plans for 2021 include a 12-month Certificate III Active Volunteering for the Year 10’s, and a 2-year Certificate III Sport and Recreation commencing in Year 11. We also have opportunities for students to enroll with Mater Education and TAFE, for courses in Health Support, Design, Laboratory skills, Education support, Automotive and others. The Careers area will expand to offer short training courses and will include parents and the community in these services. As the school and buildings grow, we will have dedicated rooms for vocational courses and a Careers Hub. AIIC courses in 2022/23 will include a Skill Set for Barista, Certificate III in Hospitality and Screen and Media course and any other areas responsive to our student needs and Industry direction.
