Student concession cardsIn some states and territories, school and higher education students may be eligible for a student card that entitles them to discounts when paying for services, for example public transport. Ask your school or institution about getting a student card. Community short coursesAdult and Community Education (ACE) offers educational courses in local communities for people over 15 years. ACE courses are usually very flexible and suit people of varying abilities and backgrounds. Typically, course duration is two to three hours weekly, over six to eight weeks, or full-day workshops. Often courses are held in the evening or on weekends. ACE courses do not usually result in qualifications, but they may provide a pathway to more formal education and work-related training. ACE can also provide work-related skills and credentials or satisfy personal, lifestyle or social needs. Some short courses are accredited and designed to provide knowledge and skills, for example in art, information technology, small business, other languages and sport. Technical and Further Education (TAFE) and Vocational Education Training (VET) organisations may offer short accredited courses as well as non-accredited short courses that have no formal assessment. 5 EmploymentIn this section
Looking for workThe Australian labour market can be very competitive. Economic factors, your qualifications, skills and ability to speak English and the type of work you are looking for will affect how quickly you can find a job. The availability of work varies in different parts of Australia. The daily newspapers usually advertise 'Job Vacancies' (or ‘Positions Vacant’). Job vacancies are also listed online. Private employment agencies are listed in the telephone directory and many online recruitment websites. You can search for job vacancies across Australia on jobactive, one of Australia’s largest free online jobs websites, at www.jobactive.gov.au/ Volunteering can provide a pathway to employment: see Chapter 12, Civic Participation.
