Finding a job for the first time is a very daunting experience. What do I say? Where do I go? Why would they want me? These are all normal feelings to have, which is why knowing how to confidently respond and showcase your skills to employers is key to landing that job.

Our Work Skills short course is aimed at participants with a disability who are looking to take the next step in their professional lives, whether it is supported or open employment. 

We will teach you:

  • Why employers are looking for you
  • How to write a standout resume

I wanted a change of careers and AST went above and beyond to find a course that suited my needs, the enrolment process was a breeze and I was supported through the process. Starting a course as an adult was very nerve racking, but the trainer I had ensured every single students needs were met and catered his teaching style to suit their needs, a very inclusive organisation and a very safe environment to be in.

Course participant Angie

Thoroughly enjoyed completing my cert 3 and 4 in disability with AST, and am now working in a very rewarding career.

Course Participant Joanne

I would highly recommend AST and if I decide to do more study I will definitely be using AST.

Course Participant Heidi

I never had any problems communication with my trainer and they were always helpful and supportive! Thank you for believing in me but most importantly helping me believe in myself!
