In April 2011, Government Skills Australia (GSA) commenced research to analyse and identify the current status of articulation arrangements between Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Higher Education (HEd) providers for the GSA industry-linked qualification pathways. These pathways relate to the delivery of the Corrections, Local Government, Public Safety, Public Sector, and Water Training Packages and the Higher Education undergraduate and postgraduate degrees that may offer broadening or extension of these qualifications.
