That is why SuniTAFE’s Skills and Jobs Centre is here to provide targeted advice and support to young people who leave school early, ensuring they get the best possible start to their career through the VELCI Career Advice Service.
The VELCI Career Advice Service will help you keep pursuing education, training, and work that fits your strengths and interests. It includes:
There is extra help available if you are Koorie or have a disability. The Skills and Jobs Centre will help you decide if the extra help is right for you.
How do I access the VELCI Career Advice Service?

tell you about the career advice service
give the local Skills and Jobs Centre your contact information, such as your phone number and email address.

You can contact SuniTAFE’s Skills and Jobs Centre at any time to discuss your options for education and training.
