EASVA is the East Adelaide Secondary Vocational Alliance, established in 2019, comprising eight Department for Education schools. EASVA promotes vocational courses and other programs offered by the schools, TAFE SA and other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). They are designed to help Years 10 – 12 students explore career pathways and commence accredited entry-level training in a variety of fields. They are also designed to complement student interests, school specialisations, regional and national skill shortage areas and provide experiences that lead to the development of transferable skills.
Each course contributes to SACE, allowing students to complete their SACE while getting a head start on their chosen career pathway.

Students should choose their VET course based on their personal interests and possible future career direction. It is important to research a course before committing to it, giving students a better understanding of the training they will undertake.
