3. Vocational Learning All 17 ACT High Schools are now involved in the Vocational Learning program which is a one semester program for Years 9 & 10 students. During the program, liaison and networking occurs between high school and college teachers so that Years 9 & 10 students may visit the local secondary college to learn about Vocational programs. Both high school and college teachers involved in Vocational Learning and VET programs have now formed Northside and Southside networking groups to enable the sharing of information, resources and experiences, and to strengthen course delivery in the future. Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) is provided through vocational placements during VET in Schools programs delivered by ACT senior secondary colleges, both government and non-government. SWL is organised for students during years 11 and 12. Structured Workplacements are centrally coordinated by the Student to Industry Program (SIP) team in the ACT. This model is funded by the Australian Student Traineeship Fund (ASTF) and managed by the Joint Industry Training Council in the ACT.
