Information for School VET Coordinators

Supporting Secondary Students in a TAFE Environment

Transitioning into a TAFE learning environment during the final years of secondary schooling is a significant milestone for students and their families. Melbourne Polytechnic understands the importance of a smooth transition and is committed to supporting VET Coordinators with the resources and guidance they need.

Contact Our Student Recruitment Officers

Our Student Recruitment Officers work with schools' Careers Counsellors, VET Coordinators, and teaching staff to help students and staff have all the information they need to make the right study choice.

How We Can Help

Our dedicated Student Recruitment Team is here to assist VET coordinators, students, and school communities by providing:

  • Course and campus information: Find out about our diverse course offerings, state-of-the-art facilities, and specialised training environments.
  • On-site activities and engagement: We can facilitate campus tours (for groups of more than eight students), information sessions, and attendance at in-school expos, giving students a real sense of TAFE life.
  • Resources for students and educators: Request brochures, Course and Career Guides, and other relevant materials to help inform students about their pathways.

  • Making and tracking applications
  • Checking enrolments and updating student details
  • Viewing and downloading attendance records and results
  • Direct communication with Melbourne Polytechnic staff
