About

Wollongong City Employment Training (WCET) is a not for profit organisation based in Wollongong NSW. Our mission is to develop employment related skills through community projects and training.

At WCET we pride ourselves on our strong community linkages with disadvantaged groups, from unemployed jobseekers to the homeless members of our community. We are a vital link in the lives of many underprivileged, marginalised members of our society and have assisted over 7,000 individuals in the Illawarra.

Our clients include disadvantaged members of the community including youth at risk and early school leavers, disadvantaged job seekers (including CALD) and the general public. WCET initiates a large number of services, workshops, programs, forums and other activities in response to community needs. Over the years, WCET has participated in over 300 extremely successful projects from labouring and carpentry through to hospitality and entertainment.

We offer specialised training through our Registered Training Organisation, 313 Training, to groups and individuals. With over 30 qualifications on our scope, students of all ages can participate through our non accredited (short courses), accredited courses and successful Traineeship program.

We work closely with the Department of Education and Training and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations to deliver programs that suit the needs of individuals and the business community.
