SKILLS AND THRILLS DIGITAL PARENTS SHOWCASE

The Skills and Thrills Digital Parents Showcase is an engaging and informative 20 minute video created to highlight Vocational Education and Training (VET) and the success stories that emanate from VET pathways.  The Digital Parents Showcase will help parents better understand vocational pathways, including apprenticeships/traineeships and school-based apprenticeships/traineeships, and gives parents the knowledge they need to help their children make informed career choices post high school. 

SkillsOne has created a free video that parents can access to learn about the following;

• Apprenticeships and Traineeships
• TAFE/ Private Training Providers
• Industry trends
• Covid-19 impacts on industry
• Funding options available (Smart and Skilled)
• Vocational Education and Training (VET) Options: School -delivered VET, SBATs and EVET
• Where to find information
• Resources and support services

Supporting this video, SkillsOne will be holding a live streamed Q&A panel discussion on the SkillsOne Facebook page on August 26 2020. Industry and education professionals will be available to answer parents’ pre-submitted questions.
