Are you a new migrant to Queensland? We have programs designed for Highly-Skilled Migrants, and for Unskilled Migrants too.

Bridgeworks’ HEAT program is a core element of the Pathways to Success suite of employment and training programs. This project aims to build on the success of the previous HEAT programs and assist individuals to overcome vocational and non-vocational barriers to employment through the provision of a range of customised services that will be:

• Delivered through a case management framework
• Tailored to meet individual needs
• Integrated as participants will undertake a mix of activities on a week to week basis such as part time work placement/vocational placement, accredited training and job preparation

This project also aims to provide a range of pathways to employment by providing participants with skill sets relevant to local employment demand.
