Inside the TTC Automotive 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 Automotive.This program will satisfy learning outcomes for the Industry Specific Skills and Work Related Skills strands of VCAL.

Future Career Opportunities

PROFILE: Transport, logistics and automotive are closely linked with broader agribusiness industries in the Region. Transport industries are characterised by locally owned and multinational transport companies that move inputs and outputs for agriculture, manufacturing, mining and construction companies, on both rail and road.

OUTLOOK: Forecast growth is linked closely to growth in horticulture, and is anticipated to gain momentum in the latter half of the 2017 to 2020 period as benefits from growth in export demand, expansion of horticultural industries and planned infrastructure flow into the sector.

SKILLS & TRAINING: Due to licences and accredited qualifications required for employment in transport and automotive, forecast workforce growth will correspond to an increase in demand for vocational training and apprenticeships.

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’.
