Alternate Pathways - The Lakes College

In Vocational Education we value the opportunity for students to pursue real world qualifications that will support their future career goals.

The College has partnered with leading industry institutions to deliver quality, real-world qualifications right here on our campus.

Our Industry Trainers on staff all have strong and relevant Industry connections along with personal experience to ensure that our students are industry ready once qualified and ready to step into work.

In Vocational Education we believe that Lakes Learners are committed and enthusiastic about their certificate studies. They enjoy the mix of practical and theoretical elements embedded within all of their training. Lakes Learners know that their qualification will help them achieve their goals both here at school but more importantly beyond these gates as well.

As a result of Vocational Education’s belief in students, they will become qualified individuals who step out of school and into Apprenticeships, traineeships or TAFE and University for further study as lifelong learners with the skills and confidence to meet the challenges ahead of them.
