Women into Work

Certification and work placements for women looking to enter or return to the workforce.

Women into Work

Women into Work

We believe that EVERY WOMAN should have the opportunity to create their own future, and use their skills, talents and interests to achieve financial independence.

Women into Work recognises that women face unique barriers to work, often resulting from parenting, caring or mental health. Designed BY women, FOR women, our Women into Work courses focus as much on overcoming these barriers as on qualifications and training. Each course covers four vital components—confidence, skills and knowledge and community.

Whether it may be a job, training or even self-employment, with Women into Work you’ll find a safe and supportive space to set your goals and navigate your pathways to success.

And you will graduate with renewed belief in yourself and a great network of people to support on your journey!

First Course 2024

Our first course course for 2024 starts on Jan 29th and has an elective module on training as a Teacher Aide. This is a new focus for us, and a direct response to employer and job seeker demand!

Working with children as a teacher's aide is an incredibly rewarding experience. It's a career where you have the opportunity to support the development of children during their education journey. You'll be making a significant difference to your students as you help them through their school experience.

The course runs for 10 weeks, 3 days a week (Tues/Wed/Thurs) and within school hours (9.30 - 2.00)
