FedUni TAFE was on track to deliver a certificate III individual support qualification, which will be taught as a traineeship model for the first time.
Head of the Wimmera Campus Geoff Lord said the collaborative approach to partner with the region’s health care providers was a positive addition to the welfare of the Wimmera and Southern Mallee community.
FedUni TAFE manager of sales, marketing and engagement Bill Mundy said the university aimed to support the health care sector in addressing the workforce issues of attraction and retention.
“As the community’s TAFE we are excited by the opportunity to work closely with the primary care providers and those people looking to enter the personal care area,” he said.
“We will help them find a traineeship and then support them through their learning journey.”
Mr Mundy said people can learn more about the traineeship at an information session on Wednesday from 2pm at the Wimmera campus.
He said to register interest people can phone 5327 6540 or email skillsandjobs@federation.edu.au.
