About this event

Created with parents at the forefront , the showcase has the specific focus on helping parents to better understand the options available through VET including apprenticeships, traineeships and pathways.

The Live show held in Sydney includes panel speakers, ambassadors and music performed by world renown Conductor George Ellis and his Pocket Orchestra which brings energy and creativity to the showcase.

The aim is to provide information on VET in a creative and engaging way to parents of High School Students enabling you to understand the value and alternative career pathways and opportunities offered through vocational education (VET) and skills training. The showcase also shatters the myths that university is the only option for ambitious young students.
