Building Australian Skills for Employment (BASE) Traineeships

The Building Australian Skills for Employment (BASE) Traineeships support migrants and refugees in the Brisbane South area who have overseas professional qualifications and/or have completed a professional qualification in Australia but are still unable to find work.

BASE is designed to help people to get Australian workplace experience and get qualifications and/or skills recognition to help them find work within local business and community services workforce and the broader jobs market.

Through BASE each trainee completes a Certificate I in Workplace Skills, while undertaking 19 weeks paid work placement with a community-based host organisation.

To be eligible you must be:

  • Australian citizen/permanent resident (includes humanitarian entrant),
  • A temporary resident with the necessary visa and work permits on the pathway to permanent residency,
  • Or a New Zealand citizen.

For more information, or to find out if you’re eligible, get in touch with us via email on skillingforwork@eccq.com.au or phone 0426 290 038.

This training is proudly funded by the Queensland Government through its Skilling Queenslanders For Work initiative.
