Programs and Services
The Department of Education and Training administers innovative
training programs which help to meet the state's VET skills
and training needs. A range of programs are addressing the
skill needs of emerging and traditional industries, as well
as specific skill needs in high-growth areas of the economy.
The Department administers a comprehensive apprenticeship
and traineeship system, and provides accreditation and recognition
services to group training providers, private training providers
and industry.
The Department’s VET in Schools Program provides vocational
education and opportunities for accredited training for more
than 60,000 school students each year, with a number of vocational
subjects offered as part of the NSW Higher School Certificate.
The Department also manages training programs for groups
that are under-represented in vocational education and training
and those who may be at a disadvantage in the labour market,
including Indigenous people, people with a disability, and people from language backgrounds other than English.
