APC has produced two new video case studies about vocational education and training opportunities.

• This is Grace's story - she took a school based apprenticeship in construction and loved it. She combined it with other courses at school so also got an ATAR and now has the choice between a full time apprenticeship or university either now or in the future.
  

• This is Nathan's story. He took a school based apprenticeship in horticulture and found what he loved doing. He's already getting on in his career with another apprenticeship straight from school and has started his own business on the side.
  

These real life stories, highlighting the unexpectedly wide range of opportunities modern VET programs offer young people, are part of a joint project between the Australian Parents Council and the National Careers Institute (nci.dese.gov.au). They are hosted on YouTube and are free to share so can be used for presentations, careers evenings, P&F groups, newsletters etc. Contact media@austparents.edu.au if you would like copies of the original video files.
