Your local Jobs and Skills Centre has experience helping Aboriginal jobseekers in Western Australia choose a training course or find their career path and employment.

"I was looking for a change and opportunity to build on my career when I contacted the team at my local Jobs and Skills Centre.
They connected me with employment opportunities and assisted with the application process. Since then I have successfully secured a job with a top tier employer and would encourage more of my mob to access this service."
