VET vs Uni
Busting myths about VET (Vocational Education & Training)
Hear from students and VET graduates as they break down myths and help demystify vocational education pathways. Dept of Education, NSW. 4.56min
Weighing up the options between university and vocational education can be difficult depending on which industry you want to enter. In some instances, you may only have one choice.
Weβve asked our apprentices and trainees about why they chose Vocational Educational & Training (VET) when also presented with an opportunity to go to University to which most said they enjoy being able to βearn while they learnβ and βgain valuable skills on the jobβ.
On-the-job experience is valued highly by employers. The experience that a trade or traineeship offers is a valuable introduction into the working world, one which teaches workforce etiquette, skills relevant to the industry and provides a nationally recognised qualification, all within a 12β48 month period.
Upon successful completion, many skills shortage industries will pay above $56k per annum for a qualified trade person, there is a higher chance for employment outcomes for qualified tradespeople and an opportunity for further study including University education.
