First regional Jobs and Skills Centre official opening

Industry, students, job seekers and career changers will have increased access to local job-related services with the Jobs and Skills Centre at Central Regional TAFE Kalgoorlie campus officially opening its doors last Friday 21 September. Jobs and Skills Centres are transforming Western Australian TAFE colleges to better link the training sector with business and industry.

Services at the locally focused centre will be delivered by Central Regional TAFE in partnership with Worklink, and will support the local community with information about training and career development as well as providing assistance to jobseekers. The centre will also work closely with local employers and businesses to build a skilled workforce and create employment, apprenticeship and traineeship opportunities. Aboriginal people are a key priority client group, and extensive local stakeholder consultation was undertaken to ensure Aboriginal people benefit from the new service delivery model.

Jobs and Skills Centres are now open at Kalgoorlie, Joondalup, Balga, Northbridge, Thornlie, Rockingham and Peel TAFE campuses, and several more will open progressively in regional WA throughout 2018–19. More information about JSC locations and services is available on the Jobs and Skills WA website
