Wanju - Welcome to Aboriginal Services at Armadale Jobs and Skills Centre.

The Armadale Jobs and Skills Centre wishes to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land upon which we stand. We pay respect to the Elders past, present and future and all Aboriginal people for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Aboriginal Australia.

We invite and welcome all Aboriginal clients and community members.

How we can help you

We provide Aboriginal jobseekers with access to quality career, training and employment services, supporting apprenticeship and traineeship opportunities to get into training or get a job. We provide:

• culturally sensitive career services;
• information and advice to choose the best training option based on your goals;
• access to job opportunities through our Aboriginal jobs board and Deadly Jobs Board;
• help with resumés, job applications and interview skills; and
• referrals to other services, depending on your needs.

We shape our services according to the needs of individuals and work with local industries to create connections for Aboriginal clients to local employers. We liaise with community, businesses and employees to create more culturally aware workplaces that attract and retain Aboriginal employees and seek support from Aboriginal communities to ensure our services are appropriate and support clients.

We connect with Indigenous Community- based organisations to assist our clients with external referrals to suit their needs. 

School engagement is also part of our team goals connecting with programs such as Clontarf Foundation, Stars Foundation; Follow the Dream and Deadly Sista Girlz. They provide career guidance and mentoring for students as they progress to exit the school system on completion of their studies and commence their next journey — whether that’s continuing their education, seeking work or a traineeship or apprenticeship pathway. We work with all senior schools in the local area providing these services to Indigenous students.
