VET DSS
What is VETDSS or VDSS?
Vocational Education and Training Delivered in Secondary Schools (VDSS) is a program that enables students to gain nationally recognised qualifications while at school. Students learn skills and knowledge required for specific industries. VDSS can be undertaken in years 10, 11 and 12, and can count towards the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) or the Victorian Certificate of Education, Vocational Major (VCE-VM).
VDSS should be considered as a subject choice when thinking about it as part of a students VCE or VCE VM.
VDSS Cluster
SELLEN administers the South East VDSS Cluster. This is a group of more than 50 secondary schools that agree to allow open access to VDSS programs on offer, sharing resources and student access in order to provide a wider range of VDSS options for students, than any of the schools could offer on their own.
Resources
To assist in increasing access to these programs for all students, SELLEN develops a range of resources each year and hosts regular cluster meetings for all members.
VETDSS Web Portal
One of the biggest investments in the resourcing of this program, apart from staff, was the development of a VETDSS Portal. This is a portal which manages school VETDSS offerings, inter-school enrolments and attendance monitoring. To support the use of this portal there are also a range of guides for both Home and Host schools.
