Course summary
This general pathway supports progression into a wide range of Public Services careers by developing the knowledge, skills, and professional behaviours required for employment and further study. Students will build key skills for a career in Public Services, including communication, leadership, problem-solving, decision-making, and personal responsibility. At Level 5, students can specialise in a Public Services-related occupational area, preparing them to progress to Level 6 study or enter employment.
