VETiS

If you are a school student you can also participate in the WorldSkills Competitions and even make it to the national level!

Students studying their first year of a VET subject can enter the WorldSkills Australia VET in Schools (VETiS) Competition to represent their school, community and state.

The first level of VETiS Competitions can be held within schools and colleges. Competition projects are aligned with Certificate I/II in relevant National Training Packages and can be coordinated by teachers and completed within class as part of an assessment.

The top students from the in-school competition may then continue the cycle at a regional level and possibly the national level. Once they have left school some students continue the WorldSkills competitions as an apprentice or trainee and can receive prestigious scholarships or compete for Australia at the WorldSkills International Competition.

Participating in competitions aligned with their relevant VET syllabus means competitors develop competencies and benchmarks that will boost their career pathway after school. The WorldSkills VETiS Competitions also benefits the school, local communities and industries amidst the national skills shortage.
