The Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) program is funded by the Australian Government Department of Employment and Workplace Relations.
To find out if you are able to enrol in the SEE program, speak to your Workforce Australia provider, Centrelink or call us to discuss your eligibility.

If you are eligible, your Workforce Australia provider or Centrelink will make a referral for you - or we will commence your enrolment. Talk to them about whether part-time or full-time study best suits you.
When you are referred to MAX by your Workforce Australia or DES provider, ParentsNext provider, Transition to Work provider, or Centrelink, they will help you make an appointment with us.
At your first appointment with us, we will interview you to see what you want to learn in the program. We will also check how we can help you with your language, literacy or numeracy.
We will make a training plan for how we can help you achieve your goals. If you have any concerns about getting to and from your class, let us know so we can help.
In SEE program classes, you will improve your English language, literacy or numeracy skills so you can move into further study or work.
You will learn things like how to write job applications, understand job advertisements and ways to impress in a job interview.
You will also learn how to improve your listening and speaking skills, and various computer skills to help you in work.
Learning in the SEE program should be inspirational and interactive. It should also help you achieve your real life goals.
While much of the course will take place in a classroom environment, you may also participate in learning activities outside the classroom. For example, visits to places in your local community such as:
These outings are designed to make the classes interesting and relevant to your everyday life.
After finishing the SEE program, your next steps may involve study towards a qualification or vocational training. Or, you might be ready for some work experience and ultimately employment.
With your improved English language, literacy and numeracy skills, you are well on your way to achieving your goals.
