| Box Hill Institute developed the Growth and Pathways (GAP) Program in 1998 in response to requests from secondary schools seeking additional support for students deemed to be at risk of becoming early school leavers and students wishing to explore various career and pathway options. GAP is a TAFE taster program for students who are in years 9 or 10 and are 15 years or older at the commencement of the course. GAP accommodates students seeking to explore career options and pathways. It also gives them the opportunity to experience the TAFE environment and acquire a sense of tertiary education. GAP is not an equivalent of an industry component of VCAL as students do not receive the required competencies or complete the number of hours that are required in the VCAL program.
