Intersectoral Education: Opportunity or Threat?

Abstract

Intersectoral education assists in the process of seamless education and the provision of lifelong learning. This is a sound educational and financial concept for educational institutions. Recent theory suggests poor integration of the two sectors (Technical and Further Education and Higher Education) runs counterproductive to building on their similarities which can be described as boundary spanning. This paper reflects on the implementation of a dual sector graduate certificate course at an Australian university. Boundary spanning needs to increase to cause successful intersectoral strategy implementation.

Bionote

The first presenter works in both educational sectors that will be discussed in this paper. He believes he is a boundary spanner that creates new learning opportunities. He has a background in Human Resource Management.
