Care Providers and Employers

Let’s work together to create
a capable and committed workforce

Your partners in a conscientious care industry

Our vision is to elevate the care industry through a capable, conscientious and committed workforce.

Working together to create an impactful training industry

Since our inception in 1994, we have worked closely with care providers to create programs that best prepare our students for the industry. We use consistent and meaningful conversations to stay up to date with industry needs and get feedback on our students’ job-readiness, so we can target our training to fill the skills and knowledge you require.

“Enable College have a wealth of knowledge and are constantly looking at how our industry can be disrupted. Their innovative thinking and collaborative approach continue to add value to our organisation.”

Host work placements

Hosting our students provides you with firsthand access to quality graduates, with 93% securing employment through their placements. We ensure each student is a great skills and cultural fit for your organization, taking care of all paperwork and clearances for a smooth experience. Our support includes regular site visits and being available by phone to assist both you and the students.

Upskill your staff

Traditionally, there have been few career progression pathways for support workers in the care sector. To prevent churn, forward-thinking providers are realising this must change.

Upskilling through formal accreditation such as Certificate III and Certificate IV can equip students to work with higher level care requirements (such as a higher level disability), allow them to step up in their career, and provide a pathway to move into team leadership.

Enable College also offers continuing professional development to give your staff the right support in their roles. This can also be valuable for office administration staff who are dealing with support workers on a day-to-day basis.

Mandatory training and updates

We can take care of your staff’s mandatory training and updates with our short courses. We don’t just offer all mandatory courses for early childhood, aged care and disability; we can provide a customised schedule for each student that prompts you and them when it is time to update.

Secure job-ready talent before your competition

Enable College’s Train to Employ Talent Initiative gives employers in community services and health care priority access to motivated, work-ready candidates.

Through a focused 10-day pre-employment program covering core Certificate III units, First Aid and Manual Handling, students are prepared to step into the workplace from day one. 

Once employed, they continue their Certificate III training fortnightly — building their skills while contributing to your organisation.
