WORK EXPERIENCE PROGRAMS

When you don’t have experience – or the right experience – it can be hard to find work. The Australian Government provides financial incentives to employers across a number of initiatives to help create new employment opportunities for both individuals and businesses.  

Depending on the work experience initiative, you may be eligible for a trial of 2 weeks, or from 4 to 12 weeks. We’ll take you through the process to get you started, in 3 simple steps: 

  1. confirmation of your eligibility 
  2. setting up a work trial for your candidate 
  3. progressing your candidate to a paid employee if all goes well 

Sarina Russo Job Access provides support to employers to participate in work experience programs, from pre-screening the candidate to coordinating the necessary agreements and risk assessments if required.  

If you’re interested in taking on a trainee, or helping older job seekers gain the skills and experience to become a valuable asset for your organisation, we can help you to access work trials under a number of government programs.

Creating new opportunities for job seekers

WORK FOR THE DOLE

The Work for the Dole scheme is available exclusively to non-for-profit organisations and government agencies to help job seekers gain the skills, confidence and experience they need to gain stable, long term employment.  

This program is designed to provide additional support for work-like activities and tasks that might not normally get done. It is not intended to replace paid positions or to carry out tasks that would normally be completed by a paid employee.
