Information for Employers

In response to statements made by peak employer bodies and individual employers about the shortage of skilled workers in specific industries, and the lack of job-readiness skills of school leavers, a range of industry approved vocational education and training subjects have been introduced in Victorian schools.

As part of the industry training in these subjects it is expected that students will have a Structured Workplace Learning experience within an operating business.
