Primary Industries VET in SACE
Wednesday, 23 June 2010 14:26

For the first time the new South Australian (secondary school) Certificate of Education (SACE) has a defined primary industry program that students in Years 11 and 12 can undertake as part of their SACE studies. This means that from this year there are now real options for students who are interested in working in the primary industry sector. 

A number of "focus schools" will be responsible for managing the program in conjunction with other secondary schools. The opportunity is there for students to undertake their Certificate II and part of their Certificate III whilst still at school. The program offers real programmed work experiences where students can develop practical skills as part of their studies. The VET in SACE Primary Industries Program offers a wide range of options for students in different industry fields.
