We work with the community to develop programs to support community activities and increase social inclusion.
Examples of Workskills’ Work Experience Activities include:
Community Activities
Community Activities offer a wide range of work experiences for participants as well as offering assistance to community organisations.
We have Host Agreements to provide Work Experience opportunities to participants. The objectives of these activities are to build on existing skills, learn new skills, develop community capability and improve participants' chances of finding a job. In particular, undertaking Work Experience can provide practical ways for a job seeker to connect with the community. We have over 50 Host Agreements with not for profit community organisations including St Vincent de Paul, City Mission, Police & Community Youth Club and the Indigenous Tasmanians Aboriginal Corporation.
If you are a not-for-profit organisation and would like to discuss hosting a Work Experience activity please call our Work Experience team on 03 6224 4566.
Mobile work team
Workskills has a mobile work team undertaking short term building maintenance, gardening and renovation projects in the Hobart area. These include landscaping, gardening, fencing, painting (non-toxic), tiling, paving, concreting, building maintenance, general renovations and repairs to local community organisations. Various not for profit groups benefit by having participants complete work activities, such as landscaping, that would otherwise not be completed due to nominal funds.
