UPSKILLED CAREER OUTCOMES

Upskilled qualifications make for highly attractive additions to any CV. In competitive labour markets, employers actively seek out the career-minded self-starters whose capacity for successful independent study demonstrates personal resources that every business needs: initiative, application and vocational expertise.

Your Passport to Professional Acceleration

Upskilled participants report that their experience

of superior vocational training translates

directly into an increased sense of professional

confidence and enhanced bottom-line

performance. They are typically tasked with

fresh responsibilities as a result of the broadened

skill sets they bring back to their role, paving the

way for internal promotion and improved salary

expectations.

For those who seek to make a lateral move

between different industry sectors, Upskilled

qualifications serve as an invaluable tool for

enabling the transition – one that speaks loud

and clear to potential employers. Finally, those

who aspire to the next rung within their existing

profession routinely use an Upskilled qualification

as crucial leverage to do so. Regardless of your

circumstances, the right Upskilled qualification

will add a powerful new dimension to your

professional self.

Explore Dual Certification

In certain cases, where content is common to

two related qualifications, it may be viable to earn

both with only a minimal added outlay of time

and expense. For example, participants who work

towards a Diploma of Business often leverage

their progress to earn a Diploma of Leadership

and Management simply by undertaking a few

additional Units of Competency. Dual certificates

and diplomas are an outstanding way to make

the most of your Upskilled experience and

further reinforce professional development. Your

Upskilled Education Manager can detail your dual

certification options during the application process.

Pathways to University

Many participants take the opportunity to

leverage their experience of an Upskilled

qualification to pursue further education at

a leading Australian University. It’s just one

more reason to broaden your personal and

professional horizons by enrolling with Upskilled.

Best of all, Credit Transfer Agreements signed

between Upskilled and its partner universities

mean that diploma participants will meet the

entry requirements to a number of leading

degrees in the disciplines of commerce, business,

and ICT. Successful completion of relevant

diplomas also attracts a designated number of

credit points towards a bachelor’s degree, in

some cases slicing an entire year off the degree

program.

(Note – in the absence of Credit Transfer Agreements, individuals are subject to uncertain application processes at tertiary level, with standing for previous study determined on a case-by-case basis. At the same time, Upskilled diplomas are recognised by every university in Australia for entry and credit transfer purposes. Please also note our partner RTOs also have Credit Transfer Agreements for varying course areas - please speak to your Education Manager for more info)
