Growth and Pathways Program (GAP)

Want to get more out of your secondary education?  The GAP Program gives Year 9 and 10 students who are at least 15 years of age the opportunity to experience vocational study at Box Hill Institute.  As a GAP student, you will attend Box Hill Institute one day per week for one semester in your chosen vocational stream.  GAP will help you to bridge the gap between school and tertiary education, and explore your career options.  You can also earn credit towards further study in the same field at Box Hill Institute.

Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS)

VETiS is a vocationally-oriented program for Year 11 and 12 students who are completing the VCE or VCAL.  VETiS programs are designed to prepare you for the workplace, offering industry-specific training with a nationally recongised outcome.  This can also help you to gain a dual qualification – your VCE and a TAFE course (or credit towards one).
