Not only are they highly competent and knowledgeable, but they are also incredibly passionate and what unites us is a commitment to making a difference.

Community Health and Wellbeing Pre-traineeship
We are thrilled to announce the induction day for the first round of students commencing the Community Health and Wellbeing Pre-traineeship, was held at two Pilbara sites on 3 February. A total of 12 students are starting their journey and will gain valuable skills and industry exposure in the Health Sector. The students represent Karratha Senior High School, St Luke’s College, Roebourne District High School and Hedland Senior High School. The students attended the Pilbara Universities Centre for the day and were joined for lunch by 12 industry stakeholders, who will be hosting the students on work placement.
Insight Training facilitated the induction program with a staff member at each site supported by their trainer. Delivery of the program commenced from Perth via teams, creating a virtual classroom with all students.
The students are scheduled to commence their one day per week work placement on 10 February, and the first block of training, for which the Insight Trainer will engage with the students face to face, to commence in March.
The day was a resounding success thanks to some very enthusiastic students looking to explore career opportunities in Community Health and incredibly engaged Industry stakeholders who recognise the potential this program provides to grow their local workforce.
WA Jobs, Education and Training survey
CSWA is undertaking the WA Jobs, Education and Training (WAJET) survey for 2022, on behalf of the Department of Training and Workforce Development. The aim of this survey is to understand the skill needs in Western Australia and the various pathways available to meet these skill needs. The WAJET survey will be used to inform the development of the State Priority Occupation List, WA Skilled Migration List, Graduate Occupation List, Priority Industry Qualifications List and other training priorities for the State.
The WAJET Survey has been developed to seek your input on the following:
- Industry opportunities and challenges from a workforce development perspective;
- Education and training needs and experiences for your industry sectors;
- Occupation advice in relation to labour supply and demand; and
- Occupation advice from an education and training perspective.
We would appreciate you completing the relevant survey below which will help us continue to advocate for and develop strategies to support workforce development across the Community Service, Health and Education sectors in WA. The survey closes on 28 February 2022.
