Objective of Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) + Read more ...

The objective of SEE is to improve a customer's English language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills, to support them to:

  • secure sustainable employment, or
  • participate in further education and training

It is recognised that gains in language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills will also improve the quality of participants' daily lives.

SEE is tailored to meet the individual customer's needs. To strengthen language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills it uses:

  • practical learning activities built around topics like:
    • activities at home and in the community
    • sport
    • food
    • health
    • emotional wellbeing
    • working in Australia
    • money management, and
  • hands-on activities, to improve their self-confidence and skills in areas like:
    • budgeting
    • filling in timesheets
    • using technology

There are 2 components to SEE:

  • SEE Pre-Training Assessment
  • SEE Program

SEE Pre-Training Assessment + Read more ...

The SEE Pre-Training Assessment:

  • takes up to 1.5 hours, and
  • is run by experienced and accredited professional assessors contracted by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR)

The purpose of the assessment is to:

  • gain a clearer picture of the customer's language literacy, numeracy and digital competencies
  • consider circumstances that may affect their ability to benefit from SEE. For example, a medical condition, family issues or responsibilities
  • identify an assessment outcome level for the customer, using the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF)
  • decide whether the customer is likely to achieve a measurable increase in language literacy and numeracy levels
  • discuss the customer's goals and the training outcomes they want to achieve
