Job-seekers

Print version

Increase your employability and make new contacts in industry by getting training with a Skillnets network. Of job-seekers surveyed in 2011, 26% have secured work or have set up their own business and 40% progressed into further education/training since completing Skillnets training.

If you are unemployed and fulfil the Skillnets definition of a job-seeker you can attend a range of Skillnets courses at no cost. Look at eligibility criteria and funding to find out more.

By training with a Skillnets network, not only will you be able to access training that is directly relevant to industry needs but there is an added advantage of networking opportunities with companies and employees in your chosen sector and/or region. See the Why Train section for more benefits of training with a Skillnets network.
