The Inner Melbourne VET Cluster Inc (IMVC)

A little bit
about us

The Inner Melbourne VET Cluster (IMVC) is a not-for-profit incorporated association established in 1998.

We are at the forefront of developing initiatives and models to serve the needs of at-risk young people and marginalised cohorts who experience barriers to education and employment, by providing them with endless opportunities to fulfil their potential for economic and social participation.

IMVC oversees the facilitation of VET programs in schools for three Clusters.  All Clusters are cross-sector and actively promote the provision of vocational education and training for students in the post-compulsory years.

The Clusters are:

IMVC facilitates VET programs for schools in the City of Melbourne, City of Port Phillip, City of Yarra City of Stonnington, City of Boroondara and City of Glen Eira.

ENVC – facilitates VET programs for schools in the cities of Monash, Whitehorse and Manningham.

PSVC– focuses on strengthening and supporting the capacity of students with disabilities to build vocational and employability skill sets.

VET Facilitation Role

IMVC offers a VET brokerage role to member schools, which includes: 

  • Conducting an environment scan to identify:
    • VET program needs of students/schools
    • Local industry needs
  • Identifying RTOs who can provide relevant training and negotiating suitable delivery arrangements in line with Cluster requirements. RTOs have been selected based on their current registration with VRQA or ASQA. It is the responsibility of RTOs to adhere to existing regulations and standards in place to govern training providers.  IMVC’s VET brokerage role does not represent or exonerate RTOs from their responsibilities to respective governing bodies
  • Developing collaborative school protocols/structures for delivery of VET programs, including timetable arrangements and establishing and implementing student expression of interest protocols
  • Maintaining a web-based/electronic information system to communicate and keep school-based staff up to date with VET operations. This includes facilitating the collation of VASS codes, scored VET assessment plans, indicative grades and student results. Please note, RTOs are responsible for inputting and ensuring accuracy of student results within the designated Cluster timeframes
  • Setting up protocols in collaboration with schools to assist in monitoring student progress
  • Developing and implementing a promotional campaign for relevant stakeholder groups
  • Conducting information workshops for students, parents, trainers and new VET Coordinators
  • Coordinating the meeting schedules, agenda, and minutes for the VET Coordinator Meetings
  • Assisting schools in identifying suitable professional development activities
  • Assisting with the communication between Host/Home schools and RTOs regarding VCAA VET audit requirements
  • Disseminating relevant VET literature or information to schools and RTOs

An administration fee contributes to the administration of the above responsibilities.
