Vocational trainer - brisbane youth education and training centre

The Department of Education is dedicated to building an inclusive and diverse workforce that reflects the community and schools we support by treating everyone with respect and dignity. This starts with recruitment and selection. The methods of assessing suitability in the recruitment process may vary.

The Brisbane Youth Education and Training Centre (BYETC) is a co‐educational school that delivers educational programs for up to 162 remanded and sentenced young people at the Brisbane Youth Detention Centre. BYETC students have diverse learning needs, and a significant majority have had disrupted or negative schooling experiences. We seek to address this by supporting students to close individual learning gaps and attain vocational skills leading to qualifications.

• Provide coaching, training and support to participants to achieve educational or employment outcomes;
• Ensure all participants are engaged in activities that focus on training, employment or personal development; and

Experience in delivering vocational training or developing apprentices will be highly valued, as will a demonstrated capacity to build relationships and networks with employers and other stakeholders to support young people to gain entry into the automotive field.

• An understanding of the Australian Government Core Skills for Work Developmental Framework.
• Experience with competency‐based training in foundation skills and pre‐employment training.
