Mapping qualification pathways for a mid-career workforce

In 2024 we were selected by a major government department to support their strategic goal to professionalise their mid-career workforce operating in unique and highly technical areas. We worked closely with our client to understand their needs and deployed our team to develop options for employees to achieve nationally recognised qualifications.

Our team mapped all relevant Department-level position descriptions and skills requirements against a broad range of qualifications from Advanced Diploma (VET) to Associate Degree (Higher Education). We analysed each one to identify which would be best suited to the unique skills and training flexibility our client was looking for.  The client received a tailored workforce solution to meet its strategic goals, with a shortlisted set of recommended VET and Higher Education qualifications to support workforce professionalisation and staff retention.
