VET outbound mobility
What is VET outbound mobility?
Are you are currently enrolled in or considering a vocational qualification? Are you interested in an international experience as part of your study program? You can find the option that is right for you at an Australian vocational education and training (VET) institution. Mobility in the VET sector can be any international experience that takes place during your studies or post-study. The opportunities range from a short study trip, to a full course or even a professional internship in your industry or a volunteer program.
Expand your horizons and your Curriculum Vitae
A study abroad experience has a long lasting positive impact on those who undertake one. In the VET sector an international experience not only helps you grow and mature personally, it also internationalises your skills, making you highly desirable to potential employers. More and more businesses in all sectors are looking for skills and attributes in their staff that will help differentiate their products and services. The skills and knowledge you gain when you study internationally gives you that edge.
