Student Support

Being an employee and student at the same time can be difficult - presenting new challenges along with the opportunities that come from developing your skills and knowledge.
The Skills Institute provides focused support services for apprentices and trainees, regardless of whether you have just begun your training or are nearing completion.
Access the information you need though the pages on the left, or speak to one of our staff for a confidential discussion of your needs and how we can help.
Language, Literacy and Numeracy
Trainees and Apprentices at the Skills Institute can seek assistance for Literacy and Numeracy concerns by talking to their teacher or Unit Leader. This support is provided by specialist teachers either one-to-one or in small groups. This can be done on campus, or it can be negotiated to occur in the workplace where possible.
This support is based on what you need to be able to read, talk about or calculate to do your job. This support may be accessed while you are on campus or in conjunction with your local LINC centre. Please talk to your trainer or Unit Leader if you would like to discuss these options.
For assistance to access this support contact Bruce Milne by email at [email protected] or phone (03) 6434 5803.
