VETiS
Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS) Students can undertake VET at school as part of their school studies - delivered and resourced by a school registered training organisation (RTO). They may also enrol in a qualification with an external RTO - funded either by the department's VET investment budget or through fee-for-service arrangements i.e. where the student or parent pays for the qualification.
The WesTEC Trade Training Centre also offers Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS) courses to students. WesTEC is owned by a local cluster of schools including Redbank Plains, Springfield Central and Forest Lake State High Schools. Woodcrest State College is the lead school and manages the centre. Courses at WesTEC run for twelve months and are delivered by TAFE South West. Click on the following link to access WesTEC's current offerings;

School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SATs).
Senior Secondary students may undertake school‐based apprenticeships/traineeships (SATS), providing them with the opportunity to commence their chosen apprenticeship or traineeship prior to leaving school.
Students on SATs combine one day per week completing recognised training in the workforce with four days at school with their senior studies. A training contract must be completed and registered through the Department of Education and Training (DET). The school manages the employment contract but is not an employment agency and does not provide SATs for students.
