The South Australian Government has reformed the vocational education, industry engagement and career education in schools so that all young people are well prepared for their future careers. These reforms will benefit students and help ensure that they are able to grasp the opportunities available within our growing and transforming South Australian economy. A new Vocational Education and Training for School Students policy has been created that sets out the government’s strategic direction and plans of how vocational education and training (VET) is delivered to South Australian secondary school students. The Policy builds on existing good practice across South Australia and sets out the state government’s framework for system-wide reform that improves completions of both VET qualifications and SACE, drives transitions to skilled careers and better meets the needs of industry for underpinning strong economic growth. In summary, the measures of success are to: ф increase the proportion of young

South Australians participating in post-school education, training or employment ф increase completion rates of the SACE for students on a vocational pathway ф increase the number of young people entering apprenticeships and traineeships ф increase the number of school students completing VET qualifications at school ф increase the number of school students transitioning to VET post school ф provide a pipeline of young skilled workers to meet employer needs. As part of the reform Vocational Education and Training (VET) pathways have also been clearly mapped out that lead to real jobs, right here in South Australia. For the first time, we now have a Civil Construction, Resources and Infrastructure Student pathway featured in the Foundation for Young Australians ‘Artisans’ job cluster. Jobs in Civil Construction has been identified as one of the key areas for young people looking to obtain a skilled trade in jobs that require skills in manual tasks related to construction, production, maintenance or technical customer service.

In making vocational education more accessible to young people, the South Australian Government’s Department for Education has released The VET for School Students (VSS) List, which is government subsidised courses available to South Australian School Students. As part of the new VET reform and subsidised list we are excited to see the follow opportunities in a Civil Construction, Resources and Infrastructure Student pathway:

FIPs include Certificate II and III VET qualifications that lead to further education and/or entry-level employment in key South Australian industries. FIPs enable a student to commence a VET qualification whilst at school completing their SACE and are a great option for students looking for a skilled career.
