Australia: Vocational Education & Training Awards (VET)

Overview

The Endeavour Vocational Education & Training (VET) Awards provide financial support for up to 2.5 years for international students from participating countries to undertake vocational education at a Diploma, Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree in any field of study in Australia. Vocational Education & Training provides occupational or work-related knowledge and skills. The courses are traditionally non-academic and directly related to a trade, occupation or 'vocation' in which the applicant participates. These courses exclude degree and higher level programs normally delivered by universities.

English language training in Australia is also available when the English language proficiency requirements of the Australian host institution are not met.

The Endeavour VET Awards aim to:

- Enable high achieving students to undertake study in Australia
- Further develop Award Holders’ knowledge and skills in their area of expertise
- Showcase Australia’s vocational and technical education sector
- Strengthen mutual understanding between the people of Australia and Award Holders’ home countries
- Build linkages and networks between Australia and participating countries
- Address skill shortages in Award Holders’ home countries.

Total Value of Each Award: up to AUD$119,500
