COMMITMENT VET Training pathways have the expectation that you are committed for the year. Whilst we are aware that career opportunities to come up please take these opportunities if you believe it is the career path for you at the time. However, you need to be aware if you wish to withdraw from your training pathway, there may be limited academic options available to you. VARIATIONS At MSC we will do our very best to meet your VET Pathway Options with your academic timetables. There may be some variations where students may miss scheduled classes at MSC whilst meeting their VET commitments. It is the responsibility of the student to meet the academic requirements of both education settings. ACCESS Model Students who wish to access a course other than those listed in a part-time/full-time capacity, MSC will try to match a complimentary course to complete year 11 or 12 academic studies. EXTRA QUALIFICATIONS Some training pathways may require some extra requirements as a part of the course. These could include: Senior First Aid, Health Physicals, Drug & Alcohol Clearances or White Card Training. These qualifications are assets to students and their professional portfolios, however, are undertaken at the expense of the student.

It is a college-based training program and is intended as a transition from Manea Senior College into further training and/or employment. Interested Year 11 or 12 students can commence training in an industry of their choice. During this stage students must attend Manea Senior College, undertake Units of Competency within the selected industry area and participate in work placement as required. Upon successful completion students can undertake more, specific training at SWIT; they can return to school if applicable, or they can seek employment. Alternatively students may gain apprenticeships or employment during the course and therefore leave the program before completion. All units of competency successfully completed will receive credits and count towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE). Students choosing this pathway will generally spend 2 days studying at SWIT or other training providers and 3 days at Manea SC studying four courses. This pathway may involve students participating in work placement, however exceptional circumstances may require students to complete work placements on weekends, during holidays and after school hours.
