Flexible Industry Pathways (FIPs) enable students to commence a VET qualification whilst at school completing their SACE and are a great option for students looking for a skilled career. FIPs aim to support students into school-based apprenticeships. They are tailored for Year 11 and 12 students.

This qualification reflects the roles of individuals who perform mainly routine tasks and procedures, using limited practical skills and fundamental operational knowledge, and taking some responsibility for the quality of the work outcomes. This Certificate II in Resources and Infrastructure Work Preparation is a pathway qualification and will prepare an individual to successfully undertake a sector specified Certificate III from the Resources and Infrastructure Industry.

To proceed with enrolment, school VET-Coordinators are to initiate the VET Readiness Orientation (VETRO) process by completing Part A of the below referral form.
