Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program

Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program

The Australian Government's Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program offers free 
training in reading, writing, English language, maths and digital skills.

Are you looking to improve your skills?

Would you like to get better at reading, writing, maths and digital skills? The SEE Program is here to help you - and it’s free!

You can start at your own level, learn at your own pace, and choose training based on your needs and goals. You can learn in the classroom, in the workplace or remotely.

Our SEE program is delivered at our Epping and Preston campuses.
