Employment support for refugees & migrants
For refugees and migrants, finding a job can be a challenging obstacle to good settlement.
Language difficulties, lack of recognition of prior qualifications and experiences, and unfamiliarity of Australian workplace culture can create barriers for many who are hoping to build a new life in Australia.
A key focus of this program is partnering with jobactive organisations, employment agencies, training organisations and potential employers, to source jobs and training opportunities for jobseekers.
What support is available?
The support includes:
- Access training and development opportunities
- Group information sessions on Australian Workplace Culture, Workplace Safety, and Behaviour at Work
- Help with resume and cover letter preparation
- Advice and support to search for employment opportunities, prepare an application, prepare for interview process, complete pre-employment documentation
