Vocational Education and Training (VET) enables students to gain qualifications for all types of employment, and specific skills to help them in the workplace.
Student achievement in accredited vocational education qualifications is based on industry-endorsed competency standards and is recorded on the Senior Certificate. The Senior Certificate is recognised within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), and this may give advanced standing towards a traineeship or apprenticeship and/or credit on entry to courses at TAFE Institutes and other registered training organisations.
VET Qualifications contribute to the Queensland Certificate of Education if the required standard is reached.

Unique Student Identifier
The USI (Unique Student Identifier) was introduced nationally on 1 January 2015 for all students studying VET qualifications. The school is not permitted to issue Statements of Attainment or Certificates unless students have a USI recorded with Dysart SHS. After students obtain a USI, they must provide the Head of Senior Schooling with the USI number.
Details about obtaining and reporting a USI to the school is outlined in the following documents.

School Based Apprentices and Traineeships (SATS)

The program is designed for students in years 11 and 12 however students in year 10 can participate.
