The concept of linked courses providing bridges between secondary and post-secondary levels of education or the world of work is not new to Australia. As these findings of the Seminar show, the provision of linked courses between secondary and post-secondary educational institutions is seen to have real potential benefits. It is further considered that linked courses will extend the breadth of general education, and at the same time, facilitate further education and career choice options, as well as being a positive mechanism in easing the transition from school to work and from school to further study.
