Vocational Schools Initiative pilot program is based on a model where vocational education and training is delivered through a combination of school-implemented courses and partnerships with TAFE NSW, industry associations and private training providers. 

The initiative will provide 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 trade qualification, as well as pathways to higher education. 

Purpose built facilities and vocational courses will allow students to receive industry-standrad training on-site and develop the skills required to pursue careers in: Community and Health Services, Construction (Electrotechnology and Plumbing), and Transport, Logistics and Warehousing.

In addition to these core areas, students may have the opportunity to incorporate relevant complementary vocational courses, in areas such as business, financial and retail services, and information, digital media and technology into their studies.
