Are you talking to your teen about study or career options? Do you know much about work-related education and skills training (aka Vocational Education and Training or VET)? Any idea what's available for your child at school or beyond? Wondering what is going to work best for your child in a challenging and unpredictable future?

Need help? Then sign up for our free parent webinar - VET Myth Busters - 7.30 - 9.30 pm AEST 27 August. It'll also be available via our facebook page if you can't join us on the night.

Our panel includes:

• Karyn Hunter- Account Manager Australian Training Company
• Dianne Dayhew - National Apprentice Network
• Sinead McKenna of PwC, a VET for School Students specialist and former industry manager within PwC's Skills for Australia, who led the review of the Foundation Skills (FSK) training package that concluded in 2019.
• Robert Munday, a higher apprentice with PwC undertaking a Diploma in Business

There's a huge range of courses available out there, some of which kids can do at school - not just apprenticeships. Kids can leave with work related qualifications in a wide range of industries and professions that they can use to get a job or go on to further study, including university in many cases. They can try something they think they might be interested in, build their own flexible career at their own pace, and work out what they want to do as they go along with vocational education and training. It can also be a lot more flexible and less expensive than university.

There's also more support out there for VET students than you realise.

If you specific questions you'd like to submit in advance - and you can ask anything and everything about VET - please email them to media@austparents.edu.au.
