BGK VET Cluster

Led by BGKLLEN, the BGK VET Cluster is a collaborative partnership between Government, Catholic and Independent schools, TAFEs and RTOs working together to support Vocational Education and Training (VET) in the Bayside, Glen Eira, and Kingston areas.

Our focus is to increase the access to VET Delivered in Secondary Schools (VDSS) to all students within the cluster and provide resources and expertise to both teaching staff and students.

We do this by strengthening our relationships with over 30 schools and developing real-world skills and improving employability outcomes for students. We aim to help students explore their career pathways and help them to prepare for their futures.
