🚀 Vocational Education = Opportunity
VET is not a “fallback” — it’s a launchpad. It’s time to shift perceptions and recognise the VET sector as the powerhouse of innovation, technology, and economic growth that it is.
Let’s celebrate the skills, stories and successes that prove just how far a hands-on education can take you. #ChangingPerceptions #ExploreAllTheOptions #NationalSkillsWeek

💐 Happy Mother`s Day from National Skills Week! 💪 In keeping with this year’s theme to `Explore ALL the Options`, we take this opportunity to celebrate women in trades and the skilled professions — especially the mums, daughters and sisters who have carved out fulfilling careers in vocational education — shattering stereotypes and inspiring others to follow suit.
💡 "A trade apprenticeship has been a great solution, as it has allowed me to learn the right skills while earning an income to support my family,” ~ Leanne Kell, Apprentice Electrician, Australian VET Alumni
National Skills Week and its supporters continue to champion #genderdiversity across the #VET sector and are committed to creating inclusive pathways for all Australians to thrive.
