Vocational Education and Training (VET) makes perfect sense given the majority of in-demand occupations as well as most top-earning occupations require it.

As an 11-year-old refugee, Shaona Imaru had no idea what – let alone where – “Australia” was, but she instantly knew to make the most of every opportunity her new home offered.“I had no idea where I was going, but I was excited for the fact that I was leaving the refugee camp, I was going somewhere to better my life, I was going somewhere full of opportunities.”“I always admired midwives.”

“Settling in Australia was a bit hard at the beginning, because we didn't speak English at all, but I knew that if I want to study something - as long as I put my mind to it - I'm able to do it.” “One thing that makes me smile when I go to work every day, is just the thought of giving back to the community.”

Employment Minister Michaelia Cash says Vocational Education and Training is growing in popularity as the government links “learning” and “earning” in the post-COVID-19 economy.“Around 4.2 million Australians last year undertook vocational education in its varying forms and around one million went to university,” the Minister told SBS News.
