Their paper focuses on the Higher School Certificate Professional qualification that the Mauritian Government introduced to addresses the transition from education to work for those 16 years old and over, how it includes work experience as part of programme and how they contextualise that element into the qualification. They will also discuss how they provide training courses to employers in Mauritius to introduce the programme.
