Inside the TTC Electrical Workshop

Highly Recommended.

SWL Recognition is available to VCAL and VCE students who are

undertaking a VCE VET program.

Students who complete 10 days full-time equivalent work placement

in their VCE VET industry area and the three sections of the

Workplace Learning Record may be eligible for one VCE credit at Units

1 & 2 level or one VCAL general credit.

Structured workplace learning complements the training undertaken during class time. It provides the context for: • Enhanced skill development • Practical application of industry knowledge • Assessment of units of competency/modules as determined by the

RTO • Increased employment opportunities.

Structured Workplace Learning

Contribution to VCE & VCAL VCE

Students will receive two VCE VET units at 1 – 2 level, and one VCE VET 3 – 4 sequence.

Students completing an unscored VCE VET program who receive a Units 3 and 4 sequence will be eligible for an increment towards their ATAR. This will be calculated using 10% of the lowest study score of the primary four.

VCAL

Contribution to VCAL is determined by the number of units of competence successfully completed. When a student has been assessed as competent in units totalling 90 nominal hours, this will contribute one VCAL unit towards satisfactory completion of VCAL. Students can receive up to 4 VCAL credits for VET Electrical.This program will satisfy learning outcomes for the Industry Specific Skills and Work Related Skills strands of VCAL.

Future Career Opportunities

PROFILE: The Region's construction industry is significant, both in residential and commercial markets, comprising a

combination of sole traders, small businesses, subcontractors and large corporations. The workforce in construction is very

diverse, spanning electricians, plumbers, carpenters, joiners, plasterers, fencers, painters, surveyors, crane operators, riggers,

dogman, concreters and related trades workers and technicians.

OUTLOOK: The outlook on growth is positive but subject to levels of volatility. While forecast population growth is low,

residential construction should continue due to reported shortages of accommodation. Similarly, commercial construction and

related infrastructure should remain strong due to high forecast growth in horticulture, manufacturing, transport,

healthcare and social assistance.

SKILLS & TRAINING: Apprenticeships are the standard pathway to employment in most trades across construction. This is

expected to continue with forecast workforce growth. Reported shortages in local A-grade electricians for solar maintenance.

More generally, employers look for workers that have a good attitude, strong work ethic, capacity to meet the physical requirements of their role and are ‘mechanically minded’.
