Victoria’s Tech Schools are centres of excellence where Victorian secondary school students access high-tech, hands-on learning experiences, sparking their aspirations to pursue future pathways and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
There are currently 10 Tech Schools across Victoria covering around 150,000 students. Another 6 Tech Schools are scheduled to open by 2026, giving an additional 62,000 students across Victoria access to industry-aligned, high-tech programs.
Tech Schools are located on TAFE or university campuses and work with local industry representatives to design STEM learning programs that focus on local industry growth sectors. Tech Schools give students a direct insight into career opportunities in local priority industries including health care and social assistance, construction, digital technologies and clean energy.
