Expressions of Interest
• VET programs are all extremely popular and you may miss out on a place if you don’t fill in an ‘Expression of Interest’ form & return it to Jenny Marks ASAP.
• This form does not take the place of a TAFE application form though. For all off campus VET courses – a separate TAFE application form must be submitted via your current Careers Teacher/ VET Coordinator – usually by the end of September.
• More information (and the appropriate forms) can be found by going to the Sandringham College website and following the links to VET (via Senior Campus & Curriculum) or go to:
http://sandringhamvetprograms.wikispaces.com
• Early Expressions of Interest are really important to secure placement in a VET program as TAFE places fill fast.
• Many VET Programs involve one day per week out of the school - either at a TAFE or in a workplace and involve additional costs.
• Sandringham College works with other transitional organisations like Youth Connect to facilitate Work Placement, a vital part of a VET program
