Introducing BKSB within Job Services Australia Offices
BKSB (Basic and Key Skills Builder) is a computer based diagnostic tool that can identify literacy and numeracy gaps and will assist in reducing inappropriate training and employment referrals. On completion of the diagnostic assessment, the jobseekers' strengths and gaps are outlined in an individual learning plan.
Worklinks is currently working with a JSA who will be trialling this tool with the view to expanding this program throughout their network.
Local Community School Expos for Kilcoy and Toogoolawah State High Schools
The emphasis on these local events is to showcase post school options to parents with students in Years 10 to 12. Local stakeholders and service providers have been approached to provide employment and training advice. The emphasis is also to engage and educate the whole community on what is on offer and accessible in their region.
Trade Training Centres in Schools Programme
As an important element of the Commonwealth Government's Education Revolution, Worklinks has been assisting schools through connecting them with relevant industry stakeholders to enhance their applications for a Trade Training Centre in their region. Partnering with industry and community stakeholders is a key element of the success for Trade Training Centres.
Worklinks will also be working with schools who have expressed an interest in the Trade Training Centre for Schools Programme to assist in the preparation of students achieving Year 12 or equivalent qualifications. The project aim is to support school communities to establish regional skills hubs and develop business and industry partnerships for improved trade delivery.
