Li is a former AMEP Work Ready client who was offered a full-time role as a Student Services Officer after a two-week placement and glowing reviews from her employer, Lab Tech Training. 👏

Li initially found starting a new life in Australia overwhelming and was unsure where to begin when looking for a new job. She enrolled in the Work Ready program to connect her to resources and employers.

Reflecting on her success, Li said, "With an open mind and a positive attitude, I joined the Work Ready program. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. Work Ready did much more than help me find a job—it changed the way I looked at my career in Australia. It gave me the confidence to explore new opportunities, broaden my career options, and successfully begin my professional journey in Australia. I am truly grateful to Laura, Surrinda, Suruchi, and the entire Work Ready team for their guidance, encouragement, and support. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is starting a new career in Australia."

Congratulations on your new job, Li, and thank you to all the AMEP staff who make it possible for students to access work experience and find employment.

Meet Donna Moate, one of our dedicated SEE teachers based in Townsville. Passionate, engaging, and encouraging, Donna brings a wealth of personal experience and commitment to her role at TAFE Queensland.

Donna has been a teacher at TAFE Queensland for 3 years. Her teaching journey was deeply personal; after her second child was diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum, Donna shifted her career focus to become her son’s biggest advocate. She devoted herself to his early education through distance learning and later pursued teaching to support students with learning needs.

Donna loves helping students who struggle with literacy, numeracy, and digital skills to achieve their full potential. She says, “I am very proud of the students who come into the SEE Program and love watching them grow, follow their dreams, whether that be continuing in education or going into the workforce.”

One of Donna’s proudest moments has been working with the ‘Jump Start Project’ and the Telstra Call Centre on Palm Island. She delivers the SEE Program both there and at Pimlico Campus in Townsville. Reflecting on her experience, Donna says, “The ability to work on a tropical island and work with First Nations people is a highlight of my working career.”

Mackay SEE client, Hine, has just completed a work placement with Mackay Regional Council. 👏

Hine worked with Sally, the Executive Assistant, one day a week for four weeks. Some of her tasks included taking a stocktake of first aid kits, replenishing items to ensure ongoing compliance, and preparing documentation.

Hine says, "I really enjoyed the exposure to a lot of different workplace tasks. Sally was generous with her time and now I feel confident to apply for jobs that I wouldn’t have before. Work experience has taught me that I am organised, efficient and can get on with all sorts of people. It was just great!"

Sally reported that Hine was a good representative for the SEE Program and that she approached her work experience placement with a positive attitude, enthusiasm and a genuine willingness to learn.

The Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) program is funded by the Australian Government Department of Employment and Workplace Relations.

Jack is a former SEE participant who has achieved a significant milestone by securing casual employment. 👏

Jack joined the Digi-Skills class as a proactive step after a long job search without the employment outcomes he had hoped for. In class, he built his digital skills, increased his knowledge about the job market, and strengthened his resume.

With his new job, Jack has taken a major step towards his goal of sustainable workforce participation.
