Tertiary pathways are now more than even in the spotlight in Australia. Critical questions are being asked of pathways models and their viability under increased pressure. Can traditional pathways models deliver the diversity of the student cohort required by government targets? Are pathways models robust enough to cope with the increased numbers of non-traditional students now being encouraged to access university degrees? The construction sector employs one in seven people in Australia and has one of the most diverse labour forces. By analysing some of the pathways models between vocational education and higher education in construction, the authors illustrate critical factors that contribute to successful student transitions and to maximising student outcomes. Some of Australia's most respected pathways academics in construction have shared their emerging research on finding pathways, consolidating pathways and developing future pathways in this book.
