Watch the VC’s Welcome video from the 2012 VU Career Practitioners Forum. Download the transcript
This year, career practitioners attended the annual VU Career Practitioners Forum at Flemington Racecourse. The forums are held for career practitioners to find out more about VU, new courses and programs and to network with key VU staff.

You can refer to any of the presentation slides from the day.
Portfolio Partnership Program
The Portfolio Partnership Program (PPP) is offered to Year 12 students in VU partnership schools. This can be a great opportunity for your students to gain a place at VU as the program assesses applications based on the student's goals, achievements and community involvement, not just their ATAR.
PPP information sessions will be held throughout the year.
Year 10 workshops ‘Breaking Barriers’
Breaking Barriers workshop
In conjunction with the Tertiary Aspirations Network, our Student Equity and Diversity Department run information workshops for year 10 students about what TAFE/university is really like.
The Breaking Barriers workshops provide strategies to overcome possible or perceived barriers and highlight different pathways into post school study for students in the Western Metropolitan Melbourne region.
