In Term 2, Jayden Taccori attended an 11-day VET Construction course, where he attained a Certificate 1 in Construction and a Certificate II in Construction Pathways. During this course, Jayden was involved in many activities, including surveying; tilling; building a children’s cubby house, a timber shed, a deck, stairs; and pouring a concrete slab. He also completed a “WHS White Card“ course and attended a VET teacher training orientation day. At the orientation day, Jayden considered program development, competencybased assessments, VET compliance requirements, and teaching resources.

Jayden’s professional development opportunity provided him with an opportunity to further refine and develop his construction skills, thus ensuring that our VET Construction students are provided with a high quality, industry current and relevant education. Additional to the Construction training course, this year, Jayden also completed AIS training modules in VET NESA Schools Online entries, School Based Apprenticeship and Traineeships (SBAT), and VET RTO update webinars. By undertaking these professional development courses, Jayden has ensured that he is up to date with the latest information, resources, and knowledge that are fundamental to his role as the Vocational Educational Training Coordinator.
