The VCE's new Vocational Major
Creating worlds where passions can be explored
The VCE Vocational Major is a 2-year applied learning program within the VCE. Students complete a high-quality curriculum and work toward completing a VET qualification while finishing school.
This means VCE Vocational Major students gain real-world skills and knowledge, so they can land jobs in Australia’s most in-demand industries.
Whether they’re into music production, hospitality or agriculture, VCE Vocational Major students finish school with an employability edge, ready to take on work, life and more study.
The Victorian Pathways Certificate is a new flexible Year 11 and 12 course designed for the small number of students who, for a range of reasons, are not able or ready to undertake the VCE or the VCE Vocational Major in schools.
Teachers and career counsellors are available to answer questions, and to support students as they make decisions about their final years at school.
