Learning equipment continues to arrive and be put to good use - the contruction trailers (equipped with a range of construction tools) has recently been photographed in an article in the Coffs Coast Independant - being used to support the delivery of pre-employment training to young people participating in an Australian Apprenticeship Access Program

December 2009

Learning equipment and resources have begun to arrive!! 

We have taken delivery of a range of items including:

• coffee machine and grinder  (barista and hospitality training)
• cash register, scanner and eftpos machine (retail and hospitality)
• bar and restaurant equipment (hospitality)
• retail display equipment - racks, shelves, mannequin (retail)
• tools and mobile tool storage/benches (construction)
• learning resources and support texts, DVDs (aged care, retail, hospitality, construction)

Equipment is being delivered to branches and is already being put to use with a number of courses for Job Services Australia clients .

October 2009

We know that effective learning relies on more than theory in a classroom - so our learning strategies provide a range of opportunities for participants to practice their skills in real or simulated settings.

NovaSkill have recently commenced a project to expand the practical learning opportunities in:

• Aged Care and Community Services
• Retail
• Hospitality
• Construction

This project is funded by the Australian Government through the Teaching and Learning Capital Fund (TLCF) for Vocational Education and Training (VET).

With these funds NovaSkill will be increasing our range of equipment and resources in all branches.  Equipment is expected to arrive in branches from early December 2009.
