25.01.2022 We understand that in the current environment it can be a stressful and confusing time for everyone, especially our South Australian customers, employers and community members. For this reason we have included some useful resources to assist if you are needing further clarification and support. If you aren't sure what the SA shutdown means for you, your employees or your job, information is available at the SA Government’s COVID-19 website. Please click below. http://ow.ly/...sUUX50CozQu For those South Australians who have been instructed to self-isolate or quarantine at home due to a public health direction or a positive COVID-19 test, you may be eligible for up to $1,500 as part of the South Australian Government's Pandemic Leave Disaster Payment.

24.01.2022 A big congratulations to our offices that achieved a 5 Star Rating in the latest round of jobactive Star Ratings. This is a great achievement for all staff members at those sites and a fantastic way to start 2021.

23.01.2022 NAIDOC Week is officially underway, with celebrations and events happening all over the country, recognising the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This year's theme, 'Always Was, Always Will Be' recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years. In 2020, here at Workskil Australia, we are privileged to not only be able to assist Indigenous customers on their path to employm...ent, but also to share their successes and celebrate their wins. If you are interested in finding out more about NAIDOC Week, including how you can get involved, please click the link below. http://ow.ly/EkOd50CeSBs #NAIDOC2020

21.01.2022 We provide a free, quality recruitment service for all employers, big or small. Every single vacancy is valued. It gives us an opportunity to place our customers into employment, providing a win-win for both parties. Recruitment is at the heart of our business but, as a registered charity, we don't lose sight of the fact that in providing employers with their next great employee, we're all helping to change the lives of unemployed people, many of whom have overcome barriers t...o get into work either for the first time or again. Today we're hearing from our Recruitment Advisor Natasha, who discusses her own employment journey at Workskil Australia and how that has helped shape her role.

18.01.2022 We're celebrating the career and achievements of Rose from our Work Ready, Release Ready (WRRR) team, who is retiring after being with us for 11 years as a Site Manager and WRRR Mentor.

Scott from the Department for Correctional Services is pictured with Rose, presenting her with the award in a socially dist...anced and safe way. Congratulations Rose!

18.01.2022 As part of our NAIDOC Week recognition and celebrations, we are acknowledging our incredible Indigenous customers, employers and community partners. Recently, a number of our Indigenous customers completed their Working at Heights and Confined Spaces training as part of their Certificate II in Resources and Infrastructure. We have partnered with Exact Contracting and TAFE SA to provide our customers with this fantastic training opportunity to help them with their employment... options. With graduation only around the corner, we wanted to take this opportunity to say a BIG congratulations to all our job seekers who have taken part in this training and really embraced this experience. We are so proud, and can't wait to see what the future holds. #NAIDOC2020

08.01.2022 We are so proud of our Salisbury customer, Kara, for not only landing a role that she is passionate about, but also one that allows her to give back to the Indigenous community. Workskil Australia was able to secure Kara a Paid Work Trial at the Kura Yerlo Kitchen, which subsequently led to her landing a permanent position. She now cooks 300 meals per week for young children, adults and elders in the Indigenous community and says "being in a kitchen and cooking for my commun...ity was really where I wanted to be" A big hats off to the team for creating another meaningful placement. Stay tuned for more on Kara's Kitchen coming soon. #NAIDOC2020
