Registered Training Organisations provide nationally accredited Vocational Education and Training qualifications (VET). The DECYP RTO is the largest provider of VET in Schools (VETiS) in Tasmania. The DECYP RTO provides a broad industry validated range of VET programs for learners at Tasmanian Government high schools and colleges.

Our mission is to provide pathways into further education or employment for young Tasmanians to contribute to a successful, skilled and innovative workforce.

The RTO is advised by a diverse board of principals and industry experts. We have a Director/CEO who reports directly to the Secretary of DECYP. The Office of the RTO leads both the day-to-day operations of the RTO and policy direction.

VET Teachers participate in Communities of Practice three to four times per year where validation and professional learning activities take place and connections with industry are maintained.
