Centre for Work and Learning
About the centre
The Centre for Work and Learning is a pilot project that aims to address the needs of the most disadvantaged job seekers by finding innovative solutions to overcome their barriers to employment.
The project is financed by the Innovation Fund of the Commonwealth Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, with matched funds from the Brotherhood of St Laurence.
Opened in early 2010, the centre aims to coordinate the efforts of Job Services Australia providers, employers, enterprises and industry groups, training organisations and government and other support services in and around the City of Yarra.
Programs at the centre
People who use services at the centre sign up to become ‘members’ and are given access to:
- job search support
- training opportunities, including Australian Apprenticeships and Traineeships
- support moving into work
- individualised personal assistance
- post-placement support beyond the life of a traineeship or placement into work.
The centre also offers outreach to public housing residents, the support of dedicated work and learning advisors and access to specialist services such as motivational and psychological support services.
If you live in inner Melbourne and are having trouble finding work, or know someone who would like assistance in getting and keeping a job, contact the Centre for Work and Learning on the details below.
