You have been working hard to improve your English for some time and can’t wait to get your first job in Australia. AMES can help you get your first job. There are some courses that you can do at AMES to give you the skills you need before you start looking for work. There is a new course that will start at AMES next term. It is called Workplace Skills for Community Services. The students who will do this course come from different countries. This means that English is not their first language.
The course will start on 16th April and will end on 29th June 2012. You will have a chance to improve your English and at the same time get ready to study a level III course in children services or aged care. If you love working with young children and choose to do the children services course after you finish the community services one, you will be able to work in a childcare centre. On the other hand, you may choose to do a certificate III course in aged care and work with elderly people.
The course will also teach you about how to communicate with other workers in a workplace. Having the skills to do a job may be not enough to get a job in Australia. You will also need to show that you can talk nicely to others and be part of a team. The course will teach you good communication skills. You will learn about occupational health and safety in the workplace. You will learn how to keep yourself and others safe when you are working.
Not everyone can get into the new courses we have at AMES. You will need to have finished at least 380 AMEP hours. You also need to be studying in a certificate III class. You need to be a permanent resident of Australia. Temporary residents will not be able to do the new courses. You also need to be registered with Centrelink as a jobseeker.
Getting your first job will mean a lot to you. You will be able to make money and at the same time use the skills you have learned. You will also make friends from different cultures. It is also good to make yourself busy doing something that you really like.
