	Here are some places to start exploring regional employment options:
		Aboriginal Economic and Employment Development Officer (AEEDO) Program - The aim of the AEEDO Program is to promote and assist the involvement of Indigenous communities and organisations in developing locally-based enterprise, employment and training initiatives.
		Aboriginal School-Based Traineeship Program - This program provides an integrated approach towards the education and vocational training of young Aboriginal students in order to increase school retention rates and reduce unemployment. This initiative is based on a 2 year part-time arrangement that involves students spending two days per week at school, two days with an employer and one day undertaking vocational training. The initiative is under the Access All Areas youth employment strategy and is currently being piloted in the following locations: Fitzroy Crossing, Port Hedland, Kalgoorlie/Esperance, Albany, Bunbury/ Busselton and the Kwinana/Peel areas. The pilot in each of these areas is due to finish at the end of 2001.   For more information contact: go to the Apprenticeship and Traineeship web site.
		Adult Community Education (ACE) - The ACE program is a key element of adult learning. For some people, joining a course at a learning centre becomes the first step on a pathway back to formal education and training to gain work related skills and credentials. For others, ACE courses are satisfying because of personal or social goals.
		Apprenticeships and Traineeships - An information section on the apprenticeship and traineeship system - relevant to both employers and employees.
		Courses/Qualifications - A direct link to the National Training Information Service web site where you will find a list of every accredited training course available in Australia.
		Group Training Schemes - provide a system whereby apprentices and trainees are indentured/registered to a central body and placed with host employers on a rotational basis to provide workplace-training experience.
		GetAccess - Career Information. This is an interactive website for Western Australians seeking career, employment and training related information and services. The site is fun, easy to navigate and contains many 'side trips' along your journey to a job or career. You'll find job and career information, training opportunities, an interactive cafe, and cool youth links. To get started click on the site map to display all of the options and services available.
		Employment Directions - The State Government, as part of its election commitments, undertook to review its labour market programs to ensure they continued to meet the needs of the community of Western Australia. The scope of this review was extended with a view to re-defining what employment means in the current global environment and developing a new vision and direction in which to take employment into the future.
		Overseas students - If you are from overseas and interested in studying in Western Australia, this section will tell you all about full time courses at TAFE colleges and how to enrol.
		Priority Access Policy - is an exciting new initiative aimed at using government procurement and contracting policy to increase the training and employment opportunities for young Western Australian job seekers. This site contains information on applying and registering to become a Priority Access Employer and also includes a search function of the Priority Access System for Government agencies.
		Private Training Providers - This is a list of all the Registered Training Organisations Australia wide through a direct link to the National Training Information Service.
		Public Training Providers A detailed list of - and direct links to - all Western Australia's public Training Providers including TAFE colleges.
		Training Resource Manual - An easy to follow manual containing a range of information on training, education and employment services in Western Australia.
		Valuing Volunteering - A Shared Vision Organisations throughout Western Australia that involve volunteers have welcomed the vision, principles and goals outlined in Valuing Volunteering - A Shared Vision. Volunteers should also be confident about their roles and responsibilities, so some induction training may be useful and ongoing management and support is essential. For a copy of the Shared Vision or for further information, visit the Shared Vision website at or call the Volunteering Secretariat on 9220 1160.
		WA TAFE Handbook - A comprehensive guide to fulltime studies at TAFE colleges. It includes courses, a course calendar and enrolment advice.

You can find out more about training options by calling in or contacting our Career Development Centre. Here you will find people who can talk to you about what steps to take and printed material that can help to put you on the right track.
