Upon completion, people will be armed with skills to immediately assist them with their job search, including enhanced interview skills, an accredited first aid certificate, a tailored career path plan and digital literacy skills required for the modern workplace.

The Personnel Group’s CEO, Tracey Fraser says “We are proud to be able to offer a much needed program to the community. Initial feedback has been positive and we’re sure that Career Transition Assistance will be embraced and be a resounding success.” The course content is practical and relevant to the community they live in, with information about the local employment market and onsite visits to local employers.”
