CSWA Newsletter – May 2024

During National Reconciliation Week, Now More Than Ever our team has been reflecting on how we can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. CSWA is committed to The National Agreement on Closing the Gap that places four Priority Reforms at the centre. These reforms are central to the National Agreement and will change the way governments work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities. CSWA consider it a privilege to listen to and learn from Aboriginal people and where we can, contribute to the capacity building of their communities. Now More Than Ever #NRW2024

CSWA Newsletter – April 2024

Unfortunately when it comes to the delivery of Vocational Education and Training (VET) not all delivery is created equal. CSWA is often contacted by organisations and/or individuals for whom the training experience has not produced the desired outcome. As well as impacting on the student or organisation it undermines the value of VET which has a critical role to play in the development of skills and knowledge and potentially career opportunities.

Hopscotch Pilot Report March 2024

Hopscotch – creating pathways into paid work for parents via Child and Parent Centres

In 2023, Anglicare WA set out to test an innovative pathway to meet community and workforce needs.  In collaboration with Community Skills WA & Dudley Park Child and Parent Centre, Anglicare created a low stress, accessible pathway into paid work in the care work sector.

The Hopscotch initiative accepted the challenge to bridge the divide between those seeking employees and those seeking work, to create flexible pathways that accommodate the needs of both employers and prospective employees, while considering sustainable career options that will survive in the broader context of the future of work.
