Accredited course Vocational Preparation

 

Certificate 1 in Vocational preparation is based around the development of 'employability skills'. It's an accredited course which centres on the individual,  providing learners with  the confidence to return to the work force or further study   The modules include such things as Orientation to work, Personal Effectiveness,  Computers, First Aid, O&HS, and Orientation to learning .   By integrating vocational learning it provides pathways such as Employment Certificate II in Vocational Studies (industry specific courses)  Pre-apprenticeships Training courses. (See students comments this page)   

This course is well timed with the Federal government’s commitment of encouraging people  back to work and is suitable for those who have not been in the work force for some time or are considering returning to work or study.  

INFORMATION SESSION

To learn more about this course come along to an information session at the Community House on Tuesday 14 February at 1.30 followed by afternoon tea.

 

Comment from a student who did the Personal Effectiveness module last year shows some of the benefits of the course.

" My kids have noticed the great change in myself with doing this course and they are much happier. My life is on  a positive path and I have so much to look forward  to in the future. Thank you very much."
