Over the past 12 months Star has been following LINK Employment and Training’s leading skills training programs.
Here are some of the highlights:
Skills Store Launch, August 2007
DANDENONG residents can now translate prior learning into formal qualifications in a streamlined and time-efficient manner.
LINK Employment and Training launched the Skills Store program which aims to assess the qualified level of skilled workers who are without qualifications, or hold ones much lower than their current standard of work.
Launch of the Hair Skills Group Apprenticeship, April 2008
LINK Employment and Training, with help from Dandenong’s Answers 4 Hair, launched the Hair Skills Group Apprenticeship Initiative at the salon’s Answers 2 Hair academy in Dandenong.
The initiative is an educational training program designed to skill budding hairdressers in Certificates II and III of Hairdressing.
The project will help about 40 unskilled people obtain the minimum standard to then enter the workforce as a hairdresser.
Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea Fundraiser, May 2008
HOSPITALITY students in Noble Park turned their lives around while helping others to do the same.
Students at LINK Employment and Training’s Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) hospitality program were studying for their Certificate II in Hospitality.
LINK’s VCAL coordinator Kathie Jacobs said students organised and catered for the Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser held at Noble Park’s Paddy O’Donoghue Centre, and raised more than $240 for cancer research in the process.
