STEPS launches new Innisfail site giving locals access to education and training and disability employment support

STEPS

National adult education and disability support provider STEPS has opened its new Innisfail site, offering free training and employability support.

STEPS’ new Lily Street site is outfitted with engaging classrooms and hands-on training tools, helping locals access learning through the free STEPS Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program, and also offers disability employment support through STEPS Work Mates, which is new to the area.

STEPS Regional Manager for Northern Queensland Julian Szuba said that STEPS is continuing its commitment to the Innisfail community.

“STEPS is known for providing unparalleled education and training opportunities and compassionate disability services across Australia, and our new Innisfail site will make it easier than ever for locals to develop their skills and knowledge,” Mr Szuba said.

“I’ve witnessed the positive impact that STEPS has had on our participants, and now even more people can take the next step towards their goals. Whether you want to explore a new career path or simply use the computer to file your taxes without any assistance, we’re here to help you.”

The STEPS SEE Program allows eligible participants to access English language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills training at no out-of-pocket cost, opening new pathways to professional opportunities, further study, and more confidence in everyday life.

STEPS Work Mates helps people with a disability get ready for and thrive in the workplace through practical and personalised support.

This investment in Innisfail continues STEPS’ commitment to Far North Queensland, with sites in Cairns City, Edmonton, Gordonvale, Mareeba, and Mossman.

The new STEPS Innisfail site is located at 5 Lily Street. To learn more about the programs available at STEPS Innisfail, please contact the Customer Care Team on 1300 131 965 or [email protected].

The Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program is funded by the Australian Government Department of Employment and Workplace Relations. RTO 1847.
