Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program
The Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program is an Australian Government program that delivers free language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills training to eligible Australians.
The program is delivered by a national network of 22 training providers across metropolitan, regional and remote Australia. It is delivered in two distinct and complementary streams:
- General SEE Delivery: skills training delivered by contracted training providers, offering both accredited and non-accredited training, providing more support for learners and includes workplace-based training options.
- SEE First Nations: dedicated to whole of community skills training delivery to First Nations people. SEE First Nations grants fund First Nations organisations including Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs), registered training organisations (RTOs), Adult Community Education (ACE) providers or peak bodies (applying on behalf of their eligible members) to design appropriate training to suit their needs.
