Themed VCAL - 2008

The Themed VCAL program is for students seeking a range of experiences within a particular industry sector to inform choices for future pathways and to develop employability skills. A Themed VCAL will provide a learning program focus that is linked to priority areas in the labour market and/or to job opportunities.

The program should assist students to choose future pathways such as apprenticeships, Vocational Education and Training qualifications or employment.

Attached are the guidelines and the application form for providers who are considering delivering a Themed VCAL program in 2008.

The guidelines and application form will also be available on the VCAA website, from Monday 17 September 2007, at the following address
