This VCAL Hospitality program is offered through the Youth Unit.

The VCAL Hospitality program is offered at Foundation or Intermediate level. Students will enrol in units from the Certificate II in Hospitality (Kitchen Operations) (SIT20307) and Certificate III in Hospitality (SIT30707) to fulfil their industry-specific strand.

Covering both 'front of house' and 'back of house' training, students will have the opportunity to work in NMIT's own training facility at St Georges Restaurant to gain real hands-on experience. This program focuses on developing skills and knowledge for the hospitality industry. It offers a pathway into apprenticeships or work in the hospitality field.

The VCAL program is an accredited senior school completion certificate and is designed for young people who have a strong desire to undertake vocational training but whose literacy and numeracy skills may not be at the level required to undertake mainstream study, education or employment. Students are provided with extra support for their literacy and numeracy needs, as well as developing their employability skills.

The program is suitable for students who require supported development of literacy, numeracy and communication skills in order to go onto further study, apprenticeships or employment.

Students are required to participate in a work experience program during the year. Careers counselling will be an integral part of the program.

NMIT also offers other VCAL programs through the Youth Unit.
