If you are unemployed you may be eligible for free training in 2011.

If you are unemployed and want to upgrade your skills or learn new skills to help get a job, you could qualify for free training as part of the State Government’s $47 million training package.  You will have a job seeker ID or receive Newstart (NS) or Youth Allowance (YA) payments.

You will need to provide evidence of your eligibility to us.

If you think you may be eligible but do not have any proof of receipt of unemployment benefits or job seeker status, contact your local Centrelink or Job Services Australia office.

Course fee exemptions are available for eligible unemployed people for one publicly funded training course that leads to a qualification. The course fee exemptions apply for up to 12 months from when you start the course.

You will need to pay for books and materials. You will also need to follow our process for applying for the course and meet its entrance requirements and/or selection criteria for the course.

The West Australian Career Centre can help you choose the right course from the range available to you. Call 13 23 98 to find out more.
