Pathways to Employment (PTE) is a strengths-based program assisting people seeking asylum and refugees to be job ready. Finding employment can be intimidating and overwhelming, particularly for those with limited English language skills and unfamiliar with the Australian workplace and culture.

This is an exciting opportunity to encourage participants in the job search process, supporting them to prepare a resume and cover letter as well as search for jobs and training online.

You will be required to meet with the person face to face, and you will be required to have intermediate plus computer skills using Microsoft Suite (Word, Excel, Google Drive) and a high level of proficiency in using the internet to access job, training and education.

The volunteer will have strong communication skills particularly with vulnerable people and across cultures and have current knowledge of the Australian workplace and experience in crafting resumes, cover letters, and job applications.
