Vocational Education & Training

​​​​​Vocational Education and Training (VET) refers to education and training that focuses on the job related practical skills and underpinning knowledge required for specific industries.  In essence, it is the practical work related skills students need to get a job.  VET is a learning option for students in the senior phase of learning (Years 10 – 12).  Whether students are looking to move straight into the workforce, or to take an initial step in their tertiary education, an Australian VET qualification can take them where they want to go.

Participating in VET can:

• Provide credit points towards the attainment of a Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) and/or the attainment of a nationally recognised VET qualification

• Support young people’s transitions to employment, vocational and higher education pathways.

VET is based on a partnership between the school and local industry and we have a strong connection with businesses in the local community.  The school Vocational Education Program offers a range of services including:

• Qualifications (learn more about the choices below)

• Assistance to develop a resume and interview portfolio

• Assistance with job applications

• Career advice and information

• School-based apprenticeships and traineeships

• Links to off-campus programs

For an overview of the Vocational Education and Training Programs offered by Rosewood State High School, please refer to the 2024 VET Handbook. If your student already displays an interest in a certain trade or is skilled in a certain area, please contact the school to organise a time to meet with Kelly McMillan, located in the senior hub (VET Officer).​

Unique Student Identifier (USI)

Prior to enrolment in a VET course, students are required to provide their Unique Student Identifier (USI).  A USI is a reference identifier made up of 10 numbers and letters.  The school will not issue a certificate, record of results or Statement of Attainment to a student without having a verified USI for that individual.  A student may access their training records and results (transcript) using their online USI account.  For more information, see the USI website External li​xternal link
