Skills for Education and Employment program (SEE)

The Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) program is funded by the Australian Government and provides language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) assessment and training to eligible job seekers, with the expectation that such improvements will enable them to participate more effectively in training or the labour force.

The SEE program aims to provide learners with low levels of literacy and numeracy the opportunity to build confidence, re-engage with learning and further develop the digital literacy and employability skills required for effective participation in the workplace or further education. Training may be offered in both part-time and full time mode and can be tailored to meet individual learning requirements.
