Public Services

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. The units develop students’ ability to apply theory and practice, manage complexity and uncertainty, and demonstrate critical evaluation in Public Services contexts. By the end of Level 5, students will have a strong understanding of their specialist area and the ability to perform effectively in public service roles or progress to degree-level study.
