Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program
The Australian Government’s Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program offers free training in reading, writing, English language, maths and digital skills.
Are you looking to improve your skills?
Would you like to get better at reading, writing, maths and digital skills? The SEE Program is here to help you – and it’s free!
For more information, you can also visit the Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program page for further information about the program.
How can employers, industry associations and unions get involved?
The SEE Program also includes Workplace-Based Training Projects where employers, industry associations and unions can partner with a SEE Provider to deliver workplace-based training to employed people.
- For employers, this flexible training can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your business and can be delivered directly to your employees in the workplace at a time convenient to you.
- For industry associations, you can partner with a SEE Provider on behalf of one or more of your members to design a training project for their employees.
- For unions, you can bring together a group of your members to train together. A SEE Provider can partner with you to develop a tailored training project to meet their specific skills needs.
By participating in the SEE Program, employed Australians and their workplaces can benefit from improved verbal and written communication skills and enhanced numeracy and digital skills. This can lead to increased knowledge and confidence which may lead to reduced staff turnover.
Check SEE eligibility requirements on the For Participants - Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, Australian Government.
