2016 PROGRAM GUIDE FOR YEARS 11 & 12 ENGAGE . EDUCATE . EMPOWER ABOUT SEDA PROGRAM PATHWAY SEDA Group (SEDA) exists to engage, educate and empower young people as they transition from school to employment or further study. The program was established in 2006 to meet the needs of young people whose education preference is for an applied and context relevant learning experience. SEDA engages students in their education by connecting their passion to a hands-on learning environment. Students have the opportunity to complete their Year 11 and 12 and gain nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualifications through Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). SEDA works with the strengths of each young person to develop their self-confidence and self-worth through positive learning experiences. SEDA provides all students with the opportunity to develop key life skills, including organisation, independence and teamwork, which will see them prepared for the real world. Completing a Senior Secondary Certificate, through the delivery of the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) curriculum, is the cornerstone of the SEDA program. SEDA recognises that a Year 12 completion is fundamental to a young person’s long term personal, social and career development. All SEDA students also undertake VET Certificates which contribute to their Senior Secondary Certificate and develop their industry specific credentials, allowing them to transition into work or further study. With a strong connection to industry, students develop initiative, communication, leadership, resilience and critical thinking skills. This provides SEDA graduates with the opportunity to gain employment across numerous industries. In the final year of the program, students study a Diploma of Sport Development. Students who successfully complete their Diploma have the opportunity to gain direct entry into one of a range of courses offered by SEDA’s partner universities. The result is mature, resilient and capable young men and women who, on successfully completing their secondary education, are empowered with a range of pathway choices, be it further study or employment.
