Schools

While helping to fulfil your school’s requirements to deliver the VCE Vocational Major, Project Ready gives your students a VET qualification and TWO credits towards VCE while building their self-worth, sense of belonging, work skills and personal effectiveness.

With students receiving up to two units at levels 1 and 2 towards their VCE, a VET qualification in the community services strand and a suite of invaluable career development skills, Project Ready is an excellent VET option for year 10 – 12 students.

The seven units of competency (215 nominal hours) undertaken in this course will set your students up for success.

Project Ready is the perfect VET option to meet the requirements of the VCE Vocational Major.

“I had no idea what I wanted to do. After doing Project Ready in year 10, everything became clearer. I learnt what I am good at, how to talk in front of people and I became excited about my future.
Every year 10 should do it.”
Jade, Seymour
“It has been important for our inclusive education students to talk “work” for a day every week – an attitude is developing that each student has the capacity for working and will have the skills to find, apply and secure a job. Fantastic program, thank you!”
Anne, Seymour College
"Project Ready is in its fourth year of delivery at Kyneton High School. I have seen it evolve to meet the needs of the students in the program and provide some wonderful opportunities for students to gain valuable life and industry experiences from a diverse range of people."
Cate Burton, Kyneton HS
"This program can help you with not only school but your life.
I am so glad I did it."
Matthew, Kyneton
“I felt free and so confident and once I got close to everyone, it helped me connect with others”
Past student, Broadford SC
“You get so many opportunities and meet awesome people”
Past Student, Broadford SC
“Many students who participated in Project Ready reported enhanced self-worth, evidence of growth mindsets, renewed positive attitudes towards education and clearer perspectives of their future career directions and employment opportunities,”
“Student-centered pedagogies appear to have contributed to an environment where restorative re-engagement occurred among these formerly educationally disengaged youth.”
“I’m here because of you [facilitator]. If it wasn’t for Project Ready, I’d probably be expelled by now!”
Jazmin, Broadford SC
