Work Readiness

Johnny H Work Readiness – sometimes known as School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) – prepares those who have left school to acquire the skills and confidence needed to transition into employment.

Backed by 40 years education and industry experience, Johnny H Work Readiness sets up a customised program based on the goals and needs of each individual. Class size is limited to ensure a personalised experience and a strong focus on outcomes.

There are different ways of accessing our Work Readiness Program.

You may have School Leavers Employment Support (SLES) funding which means you can sign up for 3 days a week, enrolling each semester. This will provide you access to our full two year course which will cover the full range of topics and content required to prepare you to enter the workforce. HOWEVER, you may choose to attend 5 days per week and either use your SLES funding faster or have the other two days come from Core or Capacity Building funding for a more intensive learning path.

For those without SLES funding you can access our Work Readiness program using your Capacity Building or Core funding.
