This unique employment program is being delivered in partnership between ET Australia and Peninsula Village, Umina Beach.

Training will be delivered on-site at Peninsula Village providing hands-on training in a real work environment with a view to employment as a Care Service employee with Peninsula Village.

Both organisations share a vision for the ways in which the entry-level workforce needs to be prepared and trained. This has resulted in a collaborative partnership between the two organisations.

To be considered for employment with Peninsula Village, students must participate in a CHC33015 Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing) employment program delivered onsite at Peninsula Village.

This training is subsidised by the NSW Government under the Smart and Skilled and Skilling for Recovery initiatives (eligibility criteria applies).

The program has been designed to meet Peninsula Village’s need for entry-level workers. There will be opportunities for employment for the best-suited students with Peninsula Village on program completion to meet their current/emerging workforce needs.

This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of the Peninsula Village team who are dedicated to putting the needs of each individual first and who offer a warm and comfortable environment for their residents. They also pride themselves on rostering staff above the industry benchmark for care levels, meaning they have a higher ratio of staff to residents within their ageing in place facilities.

This accredited qualification reflects the role of workers in the community and/or residential setting who follow an individualised plan to provide person-centred support to people who may require support due to ageing.

Students will learn how to meet the personal support needs of the older person, support their independence and well-being, use safe working practices for direct care work, and will learn how to work effectively in the aged care sector.

The combination of classroom-based learning with work placement provides the foundations required to work with aged people.

During the program, students must complete a minimum of120 hours of clinical placement providing direct care support in at least one aged care, home and community, or community services organisation. To achieve these hours, students will practice their skills under the supervision of ET Australia’s Trainer / Assessor and staff from Peninsula Village. Placement will help students to develop and consolidate skills and knowledge in a clinical environment. Throughout the program, students will become familiar with Peninsula Village policies and procedures and employee expectations.

Do you need skills to meet the changing world of work?

Research has proven that our jobs and workplaces are, and will continue to transform and evolve, so how can you ensure that you are competitive for skills of the future?

You need a set of transferrable skills.

‘People can no longer rely on technical skills’ they need a set of transferrable skills’ (Foundation for Young Australians 2017).

ET Australia’s training program ‘Skills for the Changing World of Work’ will provide you with;

• transferrable skills (also known as employability skills) requested by employers and
• a BSB30115 Certificate III in Business upon successful training program completion.

The top ten employability skills or transferrable skills employers want are listed below (in order of employers emphasizing these in internet job postings for the last four years*):

• Communication skills
• Organisational skills
• Writing
• Planning
• Detail orientation
• Team work / collaboration
• Problem solving
• Time management
• Research
• Computer / digital skills

* Source: White, I 2018, Internet job postings: employability skills – infographic, NCVER, Adelaide

All of the above will be covered in ET Australia’s Skills for the Changing World of Work training program. Many of these skills can’t be learnt, practiced or applied via online learning which is where the classroom provides the ideal environment for you to develop and gain the skills employers are looking for.

Not only will you develop employability skills highly valued by employers but you will leave the program with:

• A personalised and professional resume
• Interview skills that will be gained via mock interviews
• A portfolio of work that you can showcase to an employer
• An idea of the career direction you want to follow, and
• An accredited nationally recognised qualification (upon successful completion)

Our past students were asked to identify the ‘Two most important things learned during training’ and below are some of the responses;

• Planning and organising (Renae)
• Email writing, eye for detail (Brooke)
• Time management skills, how to handle interviews (Oren)
• How to use a computer in many ways (I barely knew how to), how to deal well with customers and co-workers (Patricia)
• How to use programs effectively and working efficiently with different tasks (John)
• Communication skills, confidence (Amelia)
• How to write a good cover letter and resume, computer skills (Jazmin)
• More confidence in myself, how to add more skills to my resume (Robyne)
• Microsoft programs, organisational skills (Samantha)

You can see how the above aligns to the top ten employability skills employers are looking for. It doesn’t matter what career path you are looking to go down, the transferrable skills you will learn during the program will be valued by all employers, technical skills are something that can be learnt on the job.

The training is delivered in a simulated work environment to prepare you to apply your skills in a real work environment.

The structure of this program provides all students with a supportive learning environment and is ideal for anyone who likes a more personalised approach to training. With classroom-based training, students have their classmates, the Trainer and Training Officer to support and help them with their various learning needs. The location for the training in the Young Parents’ Hub provides additional wrap-around services that are available to all students.

There are no formal entry requirements however it is recommended that applicants considering this program have completed BSB20115 Certificate II in Business or other relevant qualification/s or have relevant work experience assisting in a range of support roles without holding a formal business qualification.
