Endeavour Vocational Education and Training (VET) Awards

The Endeavour Vocational Education and Training (VET) Awards provide financial support for up to 2.5 years for international students from participating countries to undertake vocational education at a Diploma, Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree level in any field of study in Australia. Vocational education and training provides occupational or work-related knowledge and skills. The courses are traditionally non-academic and directly related to a trade, occupation or 'vocation' in which the applicant participates. These courses exclude degree and higher level programs normally delivered by universities. English language training in Australia is also available when the English language proficiency requirements of the Australian host institution are not met.

The Endeavour VET Awards aim to:

Enable students from varied backgrounds to undertake study in Australia
Further develop Award Holders’ knowledge and skills in their areas of expertise
Showcase Australia’s vocational education and training sector
Strengthen mutual understanding between the people of Australia and Award Holders’ home countries
Build linkages and networks between Australia and participating countries, and
Address skills shortages in Award Holders’ home countries.
