Free digital skills training added to Job Ready network

The state Government is encouraging Western Australians to take advantage of a free pre-employment pathway that guides them into administrative and customer service jobs quickly to help meet the State's workforce needs.
The Digital Workplace Job Ready program provides training in organising data and records, producing documents and the use of different software applications. The program is designed to develop participants' confidence and ensure they are job ready for a wide range of business support roles.

The program is delivered at North Metropolitan TAFE under the banner of its Koomba Birdal (Big Spark) program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. Students are supported throughout their training by NM TAFE's Koolark Centre and the NM TAFE Jobs and Skills Centre.
On completion of the course, students will be connected with opportunities to transition into employment. The program engages with employers, who have the opportunity to host a work placement student with the objective to transition into a traineeship. 
Registration for the Digital Workplace Job Ready program occurs on the Jobs and Skills WA website at www.jobsandskills.wa.gov.au/pathways. Contact the Job Ready team on 6551 5049 or nearest Jobs and Skills Centre on 13 64 64.
