How the SEE program can help you
Stronger foundation skills in reading, writing, maths and computer use help increase your confidence as well as open the door to more secure work and interesting roles. Whether you're a native English speaker or from a non-English speaking background, SEE has courses to help.
In SEE, you can focus on just the foundation skills you need or improve these skills while you train for a particular job or industry, such as personal care, hospitality, warehousing, business and more.
The SEE program is a great way to gain the confidence and English language, literacy and numeracy skills needed to get the job you want or go on to further study.
