If you live in Morley or Perth’s northern suburbs and want more confidence with English at work, the free Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program can help. Rotchana is one of our participants in Morley, and her story shows what that support can lead to: a first job, a job she’s kept, and a clear path to a better role.
Starting out - building English skills to find work
Rotchana joined our SEE Program in Morley, WA, in 2023 because she wanted to find a job.
In class she worked on the language, literacy and numeracy skills she needed for the workplace. That included reading, communicating clearly and presenting herself with confidence.
Landing a retail job at Spud Shed
By 2025, Rotchana had secured a casual retail assistant role at Spud Shed. She says the skills she built in the SEE Program helped her feel confident at her job interview.
Using her skills on the shop floor every day
Since then, she has kept her job in a fast-paced retail environment. She checks stock, restocks shelves and helps customers on the shop floor.
She uses what she learnt every day:
Reading product labels accurately
Understanding instructions from her supervisor
Chatting with colleagues and customers with confidence
Coming back to aim higher
In September 2026, Rotchana returned to the SEE Program to help with career progression.
She wants to move into roles like cashier. That means reading more confidently and preparing order forms and stock lists. She now studies part time while working part time. She says the balance works well for her because she can practise what she learns in class straight away at work.
The SEE Program helps you keep a job and grow your career, not just find one
Getting a job is a big milestone, but it’s only the start. To keep a job and move into a better one, you need to keep building the skills that help you do your work well and take on more responsibility. The SEE Program supports you at every stage, including after you’re employed.
It builds skills you use at work every day.
The SEE Program focuses on the language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills people need at work. That includes reading instructions and labels, understanding what your supervisor needs, filling in forms and talking with colleagues and customers. Stronger everyday skills help you do your job with confidence, and that makes it easier to keep the job.
It helps you get ready for your next role.
More senior roles often come with more reading, writing and paperwork. When Rotchana set her sights on a cashier role, she came back to the SEE Program to work on the skills that role needs, like preparing order forms and stock lists. The training can focus on the skills you need for the job you’re aiming for.
It fits around your work.
You don’t have to choose between earning and learning. Rotchana studies part time alongside her part-time job, so she can practise what she learns in class straight away at work. Every shift reinforces the lessons, and each class helps her do her job better.
You can come back when your goals change.
Rotchana first joined to find work, and she returned to aim higher. As your career grows, the SEE Program can grow with you.
