VPC PROGRAM

The Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) is a foundation secondary qualification designed for students in Years 11 and 12 who would benefit from a more individualised program at a more accessible level than a senior secondary certificate.

The VPC curriculum provides learning based on applied learning principles and serves as a practical pathway into further education, employment and training.

The VPC is designed to be delivered in Years 11 and 12 and within a flexible duration, depending on a student ’ s individual learning plan and delivery setting. Students who participate in the VPC can include units from VCE studies and VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM) studies, as well as units of competency from nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET).

Purpose of the VPC

The VPC aims to:

• equip students with the skills, knowledge, values and capabilities to be active and informed citizens, lifelong learners and confident and creative individuals

• empower students to make informed decisions about the next stages of their lives through authentic workplace experiences

• provide them with the best opportunity to achieve their personal goals and aspirations in a rapidly changing world.
