The courses have been developed by CPSU and VPSC to build capability and capacity in industry-recognised priority roles across the public sector, regardless of government department or public entity domain, to ensure an effective and efficient public sector.

These courses group one enterprise unit of competency (about working effectively in a mobile and flexible public sector) with specific units of competency from the PSP Public Sector Training Package to build industry-identified niche skills required by public sector workers now and for the future.

Each course:

• provides an introduction to the work specified in the course title
• complements and provides learners with a pathway into PSP Public Sector Training Package qualifications.
• each course is free and delivered online.

The target group for these courses is public sector workers without relevant qualifications or the skills and knowledge required to work across a range of government areas or to move into different areas of government.

The public sector includes:

• public service bodies – government departments (such as health and human services, education and training, justice and community safety, transport) and administrative offices
• public entities – such as hospitals, TAFE institutes and water authorities.

These public sector courses are not aimed at public sector executive staff.
