Education is one of Northern Territory’s best strategies to achieve social, economic and environmental sustainability.  Vocational education and training (VET) provides skills and knowledge for work, enhances employability and assists learning throughout life.

VET at Katherine High School gives students the opportunity to try a particular profession while still at school.  VET courses that run at our school contribute towards a student’s Northern Territory Certificate of Education.  VET has the flexibility and scope to cater to a wide range of needs with in the school community. 

By participating in VET, our students learn about the skills and requirements of a particular job at school or through a local registered training provider, and are able to complete a number of work placements during the year.
