Pathways to TAFE is designed to help equip learners who have not yet commenced accredited training at TAFE with the prerequisite skills and knowledge to succeed.
The objectives of Pathways to TAFE are to:
- equip learners with the prerequisite knowledge, vocational skills or foundation level and generic skills to enhance their ability to succeed in a TAFE course through delivery of a pre-accredited program
- provide investment in course development and creation of best practice learning resources
- strengthen the integration of the post-secondary system through partnerships that provide simplified, defined learner pathways between sectors
- facilitate the delivery of additional places or student contact hours.
The Department developed Southern Grampians Adult Education’s 'Ready for Hospitality' program and Olympic Adult Education’s 'Employable Me!/Moving On' program.
The Department has also developed teaching and learning courses for Aged Care, Community Services, and Building and Construction with Adult Learning Australia (ALA) for a second phase of Pathways to TAFE.
A fourth course developed by Wyndham Community Education Centre in Early Childhood Education. These four courses developed under the second phase of Pathways to TAFE offer a pathway to students finishing Skills for Work and Study at a higher ACSF level.
