  • 20 Years of the VET Cluster
    20 Years of the VET Cluster In 1993 a Local Industry Education Network was established called the Ballarat Industry Education Network (BIEN) with a commitment to expand vocational education and training (VET) options of Ballarat young people. All Ballarat secondary schools recognised that many students would benefit from studying a VET course and that they may not have sufficient students to make up a complete class to offer a range of programs for their students internally. The BIEN had representatives of the education sector (Department of Education and Training, Catholic Education Office, the School of Mines Institute of TAFE, University of Ballarat and the Ballarat Community Education Office) and industry (Australian Chamber of Manufactures, Victorian Employers Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Trades Hall Ballarat and Australian Timken Pty Ltd) as well as Central Highlands Group Training and the City of Ballarat. In late 1995 three separate applications for an incentive grant were sent to the Australian Student Traineeship Foundation (ASTF). Nine Ballarat schools (Daylesford joined later) and the Department of Further Education from the School of Mines Ballarat (SMB) formed a Cluster to progress the applications. The ASTF approved a grant and a Steering Committee for the Cluster met prior to the Easter break to formulate a plan of action with the aim to introduce student workplace learning programs to students entering VCE in 1997. Claire McKenna was appointed as the Project Officer to start negotiations as to what and how the programs would be implemented. Margaret Stewart, who wrote the funding application, spent many hours negotiating agreements to establish the Cluster.
