VIC Premier
A new communication program is helping CALD Victorians improve their language and digital skills in preparation for further study and meaningful jobs.
Minister for Training and Skills Gayle Tierney today visited Australian Multicultural Education Services (AMES) in Werribee to meet teachers and students and see the Digital Literacy pre-course in action.
It began at AMES in March to provide participants with a solid foundation to use emails and services like myGov, search for jobs, create strong passwords and understand cyber safety.
The Digital Literacy pre-course was started in response to the online transition of programs during the coronavirus pandemic and because many AMES clients had not used a computer or smart phone before arriving in Australia.
