Imagine trying to complete your training when reliable internet is difficult to access, public transport is limited, your nearest study support service is hours away and most of your learning happens on your own.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For many young people in regional NSW, that’s the reality.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While vocational education and training can open the door to exciting employment opportunities, completing a course isn’t always easy. Young people can face challenges ranging from geographic isolation and transport barriers to limited access to technology, study space and personalised support.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s why we’re excited to share that Skillset has secured funding through the NSW Government Department of Education Get Back in the Game (GBIG) Flexible Hubs Grant.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The funding will enable us to establish a network of Learning Hubs designed specifically to help young people stay engaged in training and achieve successful outcomes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are the Learning Hubs?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new Learning Hubs will operate from Skillset locations in Bathurst, Orange and Dubbo, complemented by an online hub that can support participants from right across our region.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Participants will be able to access:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
