At Skills Strategies International, we partner with schools to bring nationally recognised qualifications directly to secondary students, giving them a genuine head start on their careers while they complete their senior schooling. We offer flexible delivery to suit each school’s context: qualifications can be delivered at our Perth training facility, on your school site, or through self-paced online learning that students can work through at a pace that fits around their classes and commitments.Through auspice partnerships, we also enable schools and their teachers to deliver courses under our RTO registration, with our team providing the resources, quality assurance, moderation, and certification that keep delivery compliant and consistent. Whichever model suits your school, students graduate with a credential that counts—recognised by employers and by the training system nationally.
Alongside student delivery, we invest in the teachers who make VET in Schools work. We support teaching staff to gain and maintain the vocational competencies and TAE credentials they need to train and assess in their industry area, and we build their capability through professional development, mentoring, moderation support, and access to our assessment tools and learning materials. This means schools can grow their own VET delivery capacity with confidence, knowing their teachers are backed by an experienced RTO at every step—from initial upskilling through to ongoing currency, compliance, and the day-to-day practicalities of delivering quality training to young people.

There are a range of VET courses available for secondary students, and your school will have different qualifications to choose from. If you want to see what qualifications are recommended by industry for school students, take a look at the VET qualifications register for secondary students. We offer an extensive range of Certificate I, II, III and IV qualifications under our partnership arrangements.

We have longstanding partnership arrangements with secondary schools in Western Australia. Our partner schools are guided and supported by our team who are experts in VET compliance and delivery of quality training and assessment. All our partner schools have access to our Online Learning Portal that provides them with all their resources and tools to deliver VET qualifications in the school environment. Partnership arrangements are carried out in accordance with the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2025 and the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011.
School-based traineeships are Certificate II and III programs approved by industry to kick-start secondary student’s careers. They give school students, who are generally at least 15 years of age, the opportunity to start a traineeship as part of their school program. School-based trainees go to school and work for an employer in their chosen industry. This gives them the same employment conditions and training responsibilities as other trainees.
We have been delivering nationally recognised training and assessment programs to schools for over 15 years. Our understanding of the specific requirements of teachers and their existing skill sets is reflected in the delivery of our training and assessment qualifications. All teachers must meet the requirements of trainers and assessors as per the Standards for Registered Training Orgainsations (RTOs) 2025. Our partnership arrangements and quality management system ensures teachers are compliant and confident in delivery vocational education and training programs
Continuing professional development is a fundamental part of maintaining organisational effectiveness and career relevance in Western Australian schools. With knowledge doubling every twelve months and increasing demands on teacher’s time it is becoming increasingly difficult to stay on top of professional learning obligations. We support professional learning for teachers, VET Coordinators and school executives by providing a number of professional development workshops.
We deliver highly facilitated and interactive workshops on a variety of VET specific topics as well as industry topics relevant to a school environment. Our workshops are delivered through webinars, online, face-to-face or a blended structure. We have workshops scheduled at our training centres throughout the year on a variety of topics. To see all our current professional workshops go to the relevant industry area under
We design professional learning workshops that meet your specific needs. All our workshops can be tailored to suit your school environment or we can work with you to develop a bespoke workshop on a topic of your choosing.
We provide a series of half day visits for auspicing teachers to update their industry currency. These visits are offered in the Metropolitan and Mandurah area. Participants meet industry representatives to discuss any gaps in their knowledge and find out what skills their learners will require to gain access to careers in the industry. Participants are provided with a VET Capability Questionnaire and Professional Learning Plan to guide their collection of information and evidence, as well as a Certificate of Attendance for your Professional Learning Record
