Victoria’s senior secondary education is changing.
From 2023, the new VCE Vocational Major will replace Intermediate and Senior VCAL. This means the VCE will recognise different students equally.
The new Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) will replace Foundation VCAL.
Students will have more education choices, a higher-quality curriculum and better workplace experiences – preparing them for further study, training at TAFE or work.
From 2023, more students will study the VCE. That is because the VCE will include the Vocational Major, a 2-year program that sits within the VCE. There will also be the Victorian Pathways
Certificate for those who need flexibility in their learning.
A new information and awareness campaign, Many Talents, One VCE will roll out explaining the changes.
The changes are a result of the Review into Vocational and Applied Learning Pathways in Senior Secondary Schooling (the Firth review). The review found we needed to improve vocational
learning in schools.
Schools currently offering VCAL will switch to the VCE Vocational Major from 2023.
Some schools that do not offer VCAL will expand their options to include the VCE Vocational Major.
Teachers and careers counsellors are available to answer questions and to support students as they make decisions about their final years at school.
Now students will have greater access to high-quality, relevant vocational education and applied learning opportunities.

Our Food & Fibre Careers Day is the largest in Victoria, with over 400 students attending in May 2023.
LLEN's, universities, TAFEs, training organisations and industry bodies work together to organise the Food & Fibre Careers Day at the Dookie Campus of the University of Melbourne.
Twenty-two different workshops were offered with many filling to capacity during the registration process. Workshops included genetics, sheep, hydroponics, veterinary technology, climate challenges, tractors, technology, dairy, agribusiness, equine, beef, indigenous foods, environmental science, pastures, sweet science, pigs, drones and viticulture. This provided a wide range of aspects of Food & Fibre production.
Lunch was provided and an ag relay race was held during the break with students competing in teams for prizes, sashes and a trophy for the overall winning school. The race consisted of ag related activities in a relay which was a lot of fun.
Feedback from students showed a large increase in the number now interested in a career in Food & Fibre. They enjoyed the hands on activities and learning new things. They also appreciated the variety of workshops on offer.

The inaugural meeting of CCLLEN was held in March 2002, making the organisation 20 years old this year!
In those 20 years the organisation has had three Executive Officers, more than 24 staff, 74 board members and three Chairpersons.
Peter Williams is our elder statesman, having been on the board since the beginning, and served 9 years as Chair. Kerrie Raglus was on the board for 17 years, 10 as Chair. Paul Marshall is the newcomer, with 4 years on the board, 1 as Chair.

Other projects have come and gone,
We started this year with a new addition in the L2P Learner Driver program.
The future looks promising with the Department of Education seeing a role for LLENs in the implementation of the Senior Secondary Pathways Reform and continuing work in school and industry engagement. We hope for a four year contract, and we hope for an increase in funding. That would see us celebrating 25 years.
