What are VET and the National Training System?
Vocational education and training, often called VET, is an important part of the modern workplace. As the world of work, and the technology that supports it, becomes increasingly complex, employees need higher levels of skills to be effective, and to contribute to Australia’s economic growth and prosperity. Training and learning is no longer something you do between school and work. Now employees will train, retrain and continue to develop new and higher levels of skills throughout their lives. This ongoing learning is critical to the individual employee, the employer and the economy. VET also provides general education to help people to move into work, further study or work in the community. Many people also choose VET for personal development.
