Notice to Schools 32 - 30 April 2026

Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) Recognition for VET arrangements from 2026

Principals/Directors, VET Coordinators and VASS Administrators

From 2026, schools will be responsible for enrolling their students in SWL Recognition for VET units on VASS.

This gives VASS administrators full control of SWL Recognition for VET enrolment and results entry, consistent with the process for all other VCE studies.

It also enables schools to confirm students’ eligibility for these units in VASS before most 2026 SWL placements commence.

The Structured Workplace Learning Recognition report will be updated to assist with determining eligibility. A notice will be published on the VASS home page when it is made available.

Refer to:
