In early July, we celebrated the achievements of Primo Foods employees who completed the SEE Program's Workplace-based Training in Wacol, QLD. This milestone marks the second cohort to graduate from the program at this site, reflecting a growing enthusiasm for foundation skills training among the workforce. 

Three years ago, Chandra had never touched a computer, couldn't read or write, and didn't speak a word of English. Today, she texts her friends and family, works confidently with numbers, and holds a nationally recognised English language qualification. 

Jonah is a SEE Program participant. Originally from Papua New Guinea, he knew that improving his English would help him thrive at work. Better communication meant he could understand instructions, ask questions and share his ideas with the people around him. 

Primo Foods recognised the value of investing in their team's development, particularly for employees participating in the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme — a program that enables workers from the Pacific region and Timor-Leste to take up employment in Australia. 

On 30^th July 2026, we celebrated the official opening of our new site in Springvale, VIC where we deliver the Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program. 

Ambulance Victoria, the state's official emergency medical service provider, recently partnered with Max Solutions RTO 0667 to deliver specialised training directly to our learners.

Susan is a current SEE Program participant with Max Solutions, and her feedback points to something that data alone can miss: the quality of the teaching relationship. 

Susan shares her appreciation for trainers who value and respond to cultural diversity — an approach often referred to as culturally responsive pedagogy, where instruction is deliberately adapted to the cultural knowledge, prior experience and communication styles a learner brings with them.

The Adult Migrant English Program, known as AMEP, provides free English language tuition to eligible migrants and humanitarian entrants in Australia. Funded by the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs, the program helps learners build the English skills they need for everyday life, work, study and community participation. 

The Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) provides free English language tuition to eligible migrants and humanitarian entrants in Australia. The program helps learners develop the language skills and confidence they need to participate in everyday life, education, work and their local communities. 

When Zubeida began the SEE Program, she had very limited English. She communicated through gestures — pointing, miming, and reading the faces of the people around her to be understood. 

Recently, we welcomed nurses from Hunter New England Local Health District for an informative session on Flu tracking with our learners in the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) in the Hunter Valley, NSW.

Leng migrated to Australia from Cambodia in 1989, part of a broader wave of Cambodian arrivals to Australia following decades of conflict and displacement in the region. 

In September 2024, Leng joined the SEE Program with a clear and practical goal: to improve her English communication and literacy skills so she could become more independent in her daily life. Her motivation was the everyday tasks that literacy subtly governs: appointments, paperwork, applications and conversations with services.

Dina’s employment success story through the Skills for Education and Employment Program 

For many people, navigating the healthcare system can be overwhelming. For those facing language and literacy barriers alongside health challenges, it can feel nearly impossible. For Sarah, the Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program has been transformative, giving her the skills and confidence to advocate for her own health needs.

The Skills for Education and Employment Program, known as SEE, helps eligible people improve their language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills.

With many SEE participants coming from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, the event was a valuable opportunity to connect with the broader community, learn about local support services, and build relationships with organisations that support migrants and refugees across Tasmania.

We’re proud to share that our participants in the Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program in Mirabooka, WA recently raised over $3,000 for the Cancer Council!

Our Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) team and participants were proud to present their Tree of Voices project at the 15th Multicultural Services Expo, organised by the Multicultural Neighbourhood Centres.
