Workstar

For partners - Government and AACs

Workstar is proud to work alongside government agencies, Australian Apprenticeship Centres and industry associations in developing career pathways for all Australians.

In particular, Workstar supports initiatives that actively encourage young people, mature-age workers, people returning to work and the long-term unemployed to gain new skills and join workplaces.

Workstar supports the DEST Directions paper: Skilling Australia: New Directions for Vocational Education and Training.

As part of the monthly reporting process to government, we are introducing access to live data.

Addressing skills shortages

Many businesses, particularly manufacturing and engineering, are currently facing skills shortages. To address these shortages, Workstar has partnered with several major employers nationwide and engineering skills centres in Victoria.

Improving study retention rates

With overall retention rates for study as low as 45%, Workstar is leading the way in meeting COAG’s aim to encourage more trainees to complete their courses.

Systems that enable us to map an employee’s experience and previous training against our nationally recognised training packages ensure coursework is always relevant and interesting.

Support for small business

Workstar has assisted over 1,800 small businesses through staff training programmes. As one of the largest accredited training providers in Australia with a broad national network, Workstar has helped many regional and rural businesses to grow and be active in their local communities.
