The Northern Melbourne VET Cluster (NMVC) is a consortium of secondary schools that have joined forces to improve the provision of VET programs in the Northern Region of Melbourne. The NMVC has 57 member schools from the State, Catholic and Independent education sectors.

The Northern Melbourne VET Cluster is a self-funded model supported by the schools based on an annual membership fee. The NMVC has developed with support from local secondary schools and the Local Learning Employment Networks (LLENs) in the region, Banyule Nillumbik LLEN, Hume Whittlesea LLEN and Inner Northern LLEN. The NMVC also has support from the Northern Metropolitan Region, Department of Education and Training and the Catholic Education Office, Melbourne.

Vocational Education and Training refers to enhanced senior school studies, which enable a secondary student to combine their VCE or VCAL studies with vocational training.
