You generally need to be enrolled in the AMEP or have attended within the past 12 months, have suitable workplace communication skills and be ready for employment. Our team will check your eligibility and guide you through enrolment.

To start the Pathways to Work program, complete an enquiry and meet with our friendly team. We will review your AMEP participation, English level, employment goals and readiness for the workplace. If you are eligible, we will help you enrol, choose a suitable industry pathway and prepare for your classroom training and work experience placement.

Successful students will receive a Statement of Attainment or certificate for the nationally recognised EAL and industry-related vocational units completed during the Pathways to Work program. This provides an official record of your accredited training alongside the practical skills and work experience gained through the program.

You can study the Pathways to Work program at selected Navitas Skilled Futures colleges in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. Visit our colleges page to view campus locations, or contact our team to find out where PtW is currently available and which industry pathway and location best suit your employment goals.
