Work Education Centre's courses provide individual training developed for each student by setting objectives to meet his or her needs and goals. They aim to give students the best possible opportunity to gain employment or to undertake further training and to maximise student's full potential in work and non work activities.

"Essentially, the format of the Work Education Centre or its critical philosophy centres around the uniqueness of the individual self. We find out about an individual - what their learning styles are, what they like to learn, how they learn best - and then create a structure, a course for them that reflects that learning style. It is also a good introduction for them to the way the world works, whether it be in work or non work terms." - Annie Russell, Work Education Centre Co-ordinator.

"A Certificate I in Work Education is delivered to students over a period of one to two years or on a part-time basis. The program is made up of core subjects and what we call vocational electives. Through those subjects, the students develop skills in communication, literacy, numeracy, independence skills and workplace skills. It's delivered mainly on an individual basis. All students develop their own goals, their own individual goals and they work towards achieving those goals." - Marilyn Crump, teacher.
