This is a condensed version of a more fully developed document that is available from the Transition to Work Project of the Queensland Department of Education. At the time of publication the Syllabus is intended for Senior Secondary school students who do not wish to seek Tertiary entry.
The syllabus if taken in its entirety, can constitute a school work programme and will be given accreditation from the Queensland Board of Secondary School Studies as a board registered School subject. It is hoped that in the not too distant future, to have a number of schools trial the syllabus as a pilot course so that it may gain accreditation for a Board of Secondary School subject that will qualify students for tertiary entrance.
