Welcome to the Skill Up Program
We’re excited to announce the return of the Skill Up Program in 2025! This initiative is designed to equip young people aged 12 to 24 with essential skills and certifications to step confidently into the workforce – and it’s completely free. Whether you're preparing for your first job or expanding your qualifications, Skill Up offers the tools and training to help you succeed.
Building on the success of our 2024 program, which saw nearly a hundred participants gain valuable skills through free courses, 2025 is set to be even bigger and better.
From White Card training to First Aid certification and the Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA), we’re continuing to provide practical, career-building opportunities for youth across the community. Don’t miss your chance to develop critical skills, enhance your resume, and take the next step toward a bright future – all without spending a cent.
Stay tuned for course announcements and registration dates. Let’s make 2025 the year you Skill Up!
