National Youth Week

Workskills has received a grant from Department Premier & Cabinet to host a National Youth Week event. The purpose on National Youth Week is to celebrate and recognise the value of all young Australians to their communities.

Workskills will host the Pop Up Art Gallery at Brighton Civic Centre on 5 April 2011, and we’re keen to get drawings, paintings, photos or digital images from young people in the Brighton, Central Highlands, Southern Midlands and Derwent Valley municipalities. The theme for 2011 is “Own It” and the art could show a sense of ownership, what is important or how young people contribute.

Skills Equip Program

Workskills has secured funding from Skills Tasmania to deliver the Skills Equip program in 2011 to people returning to work or study.  The program equips people with skills in communication, operating a computer, electronic communication, word processing, planning and organisation from the certificate 2 in Business. These skills will enable people to prepare for work or undertake further training or study.  The program is part time to suit the needs of parents and people with disability. It is held at easily accessible locations.   People who are interested in this free program can drop in to a Workskills Job Services Australia office at Hobart, Glenorchy, Bridgewater or New Norfolk to put their name down, or phone Workskills Training and Development on 03 6224 4566.
