Vocational Schools Initiative
The Vocational Innovation Centre at Seven Hills High School provides industry standard training facilities and support to provide innovative curriculum pathways and options as part of a pilot program. The Vocational Schools Initiative is based on a model where vocational education and training is delivered through a combination of school implemented courses and a partnership with TAFE NSW, industry, businesses, associations and private training providers.
Students from over 20 different Western Sydney schools access the Vocational Education and Training courses on offer from the VIC.
The initiative provides access to specialist vocational education and training facilities which will allow students to engage in learning that builds vocational skills and facilitates pathways to apprenticeships, traineeships, and other employment opportunities, further training and pathways to higher education.
Purpose built facilities and vocational courses allow students to receive industry-standard training onsite and develop the skills required to pursue careers in:
Business & Financial Services
Community and Health Services
Construction (Electrotechnology and Drainage)
Engineering
Entertainment
Screen & Media
Transport, Logistics & Warehousing
More recently we have been delivering the Certificate I in Aviation, the first NSW school to do so. The qualification will be a prerequisite to any employment at the new Western Sydney International Airport.
