• Employment  Training:

Hi everyone,

SkillME is launching another training where we combine SEE training (English language) and vocational training in partnership with MTC Australia, BCA National and Aged and Disability employers (Chinese Australian Services Society as the first one). This is an innovative collaboration model which has proven extremely effective in developing clients’ English skills, vocational skills and maximise their prospects in employment, following our dual qualification project in Furniture Removal and Warehouse Operation.

In this training students will not only do the vocational training, but in the meantime they’re learning industry-focused language skills and have their work placements organised.
