Employment and Training

Employment  and Training involves participants on our Work Placement Projects and the general public who require assistance with gaining employment.

 A Work Placement is a work-based program enabling participants the opportunity to get back into a cycle of going to work, restore self-esteem and practice new skills in a work environment in order to maximise employment opportunities upon completion.

The Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation funds organisations to provide employment , for approximately 20 weeks for the long-term unemployed people and those at risk of experiencing long-term unemployment.

The construction work placement is held offsite at a community organisation.  Each project has different requirements of what is to be done but generally the skills learnt are:-

  • use of power tools
     

  • concreting
     

  • painting
     

  • building styles and techniques.

 Adult Numeracy & Literacy
