Community Programs -> HEAT

HEAT (Host Employment and Training)
An innovative employment strategy for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

The Queensland Government funds Bridgeworks Employment and Training to implement a programme specifically designed to assist highly skilled migrants and refugees into the workforce.

Basic eligibility requirements are that you are from a non-English speaking background or a culturally and linguistically diverse background, are not currently working more than 25 hours per week or in full-time education.  You must be eligible to work in Australia, that means you cannot be on a student, tourist or working holiday visa.   (Click here to download brochure)
HEAT provides individuals with a range of professional development training in the area of employment skills, and other professionally relevant areas.

Email only Registration

Please include as many details as you can in the email.

 

Training workshops include:
  • Marketing yourself with curriculum vitae and application letters
  • Introduction to occupational health and safety
  • Problem solving and Planning
  • Australian Culture in the Workplace
  • Networking

An important component of this programme is the development of cultural fluency, which is much more important than language skills. We emphasise these skills throughout the programme, as culture affects all aspects of life, including professional networking and interview techniques.

HEAT can also provide assistance with development of curriculum vitae and applications if needed. People who join HEAT are also automatically available to our recruitment division as candidates.

There is the opportunity for around half of the HEAT group to participate in a Community Enrichment programme. If you have the appropriate skills and experience, you may be invited to assist one of our non-profit Community Partners on a special project. This assistance would be a full-time, paid placement for a period of up to 65 working days, where you would be employed in your own field of expertise.

  • 4MBS Classic FM Radio
  • Australian Industry Group
  • Australian Taxation Office
  • Department of Emergency Services
  • Golden Years Centre
  • Griffith University
