Do you employ older workers?

We can provide your staff with personalised advice and guidance on up skilling for their current jobs, finding new careers, or help them discover options for further education and training.

To be eligible, your staff need to be:

• Aged Between 45 and 70; and
• An Australian citizen or premanent resident; and
• Currently employed or recently unemployed (less than 3 continuous months) and not registered for assistance through an Australian Government employment services provider.

What Does the program involve?

Skills Checkpoint offers a way of helping your employees find a pathway to a new or changed career, including potentially upskilling for roles within your business. As an added benefit, your staff may be eligible for a Federal Government Skills and Training Incentive, which contributes to training and education fees for program participants. Your staff will work closely with a Career Advisor on their work experience, strengths and preferences, and undertake individually tailored assessments to identify career and skilling options to develop a personalised Career Plan, including:

• Skills they can develop to get a new job or new career;
• Skills they could enhance to increase their ability to perform in their current role;
• Advice and recommendations about skills and training options.

Eligible participants may access up to $2,000 (plus GST) as a co-contribution from the Australian Government to fund re-skilling or up-skilling opportunities.

This initiative is accessible to both individuals and employers looking for support, career assessments and one on one support through a career guidance officer, at no cost. This initiative is available Australia wide.
