Direct quote:
What is different about higher education is "the effective coupling and integration of the generic outcomes of a general education with preparation for specialised and professional participation in the workforce" (Commonwealth Department of Education, Science and Training 3).
Paraphrasing:
Higher education has a dual role in that it endeavours to not only cover generic skills but also give learners a thorough introduction to their specialist discipline and how it functions within the workplace (Commonwealth Department of Education, Science And Training 3).
