Yeppoon
State High School offers a range of Vocational Education and Training (VET)
opportunities for our students. These courses contribute towards the
Queensland Certificate of Education and may be used in the calculation of a tertiary entrance rank score for
students wishing to apply for university. VET subjects tend
to place more emphasis on practical skills and knowledge and can develop
specific skills relevant to employment.
All students enrolled in a VET course through Yeppoon State High School are required to complete a VET Induction. If students think they may already have the skills and knowledge being assessed in their VET course, they can apply for Recognition of Prior Learning.
Any students who are not satisfied with the training they received at Yeppoon State High School or disagree with the assessment decisions are able to submit a complaint as per our Complaints and Appeals Policy and Procedures.

Work Experience
Work experience is organised for
students in Year 10 and upon request for students in Year 11 and 12 at Yeppoon State High School. Work experience
allows students to gain experience or knowledge in a variety or work situations
to help them in future career choices. Experience in the workplace is
invaluable in building confidence, self-esteem, discipline and team work.
School-Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SATs)
School-based apprenticeships and traineeships are available to students in Year 10, Year 11 and Year 12. Senior Schooling staff help
students with information about opportunities as well assisting students with
applications for these positions. Traineeships and Apprenticeships
involve paid work as well as off the job training towards a recognised
qualification that will contribute to the Queensland Certificate of Education
and appear on their Senior Statement. In many cases school-based
traineeships and apprenticeships lead to post-school job prospects.
Previous students have successfully completed school-based apprenticeships/traineeships
in the areas of automotive, engineering, hairdressing, allied health, aged
care, disability services, electrical, business administration, retail,
horticulture. Students interested in a
school based apprenticeship/traineeship are encouraged to see the staff located

advertised on the daily student notices every week.
Unique Student

the HOD – Senior Schooling for recording.

of the school RTO (if relevant).
