Thousands of Year 10-12 students miss out on vocational education pathways due to lack of visibility. A tool mapping TAFE courses, apprenticeships, and school-based traineeships to local job demand would fill a clear gap.

Vocational Education and Training (VET) pathways are chronically underutilised in Australian high schools despite strong employment outcomes. The barrier is discovery and navigation — students and parents lack visibility of what is available locally, what it leads to, and how it compares to university. A platform that maps local TAFE offerings, apprenticeship vacancies, and school-based traineeships to regional labour market demand data from the LMIP could help students make informed decisions.
