VET courses and students with special education needs

The Board of Studies has a new fact sheet available to help schools understand the provisions for students with special education needs in vocational education and training (VET) courses.

Successful participation in VET courses for students with special education needs will require:

• collaborative curriculum planning
• appropriate learning and assessment strategies
• appropriate consultation on strategies to support work placement where mandatory
• ongoing partnerships between schools and colleges, students, parents, teachers, employers and others in the community.

The fact sheet can be found on the syllabus page for each of the VET curriculum frameworks, and includes information about work placement requirements and adjustments to course delivery and assessment.
