National Carers Week, held from 11–17 October, is an opportunity for Global Skills to recognise the valuable contribution of carers across our communities.

Whether caring for a family member, partner or friend is a short-term responsibility or a long-term role, carers provide essential support that helps people live with dignity, independence and connection.

For those considering a return to paid work after time spent in a caring role, recognising the skills and strengths gained through caring can be a valuable starting point.

Everyday caring responsibilities can build skills such as organisation, communication, problem-solving, flexibility, time management and leadership. These transferable skills can be applied across a wide range of industries and roles.

Global Skills provides personalised employment support to help participants recognise their strengths and experience and explore suitable career options. Where needed, we can also support participants to gain additional skills, training or qualifications to work towards their employment goals.

On Wednesday, Global Skills proudly hosted our 2026 Sydney North and West Jobs Expo, generously supported by Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Community College.

Our staff, together with a wide range of committed employers and partners, welcomed more than 170 Global Skills participants from across our programs and sites. It was an incredible opportunity for participants to connect with local to national employers, training providers, and our Global Skills Employer Liaison Officers in one place.

With hundreds of positions on offer, we expect to see many interviews and offers in the coming days and weeks.

A big thank you to Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Community College, our employers, participants and everyone who contributed to making this event a success. Your support and participation were truly invaluable.

From 19–25 October, Global Skills is proud to take part in Get Online Week, a national campaign by Good Things Foundation that supports people to feel safer, more confident and better connected online.

Being confident and safe online is an important part of looking for work and staying connected in the workplace. From searching and applying for jobs online to communicating with employers, managing personal information and recognising scams, having the right digital skills can make everyday employment tasks easier and safer.

To support our participants, we’re hosting two special Get Online Week events. On Thursday 15 October in Lake Haven, we’ll enjoy afternoon tea while watching the webinar ‘Protecting Your Personal Information Online’. On Thursday 22 October in Liverpool, we’ll share afternoon tea and watch the webinar ‘Can You Spot A Scam’.

At both events, our friendly team, including one of our Marketers, will be available to answer questions about online safety. A Career Transition Provider (CTA) will also be on hand to talk about the program and how it can support participants to build skills and confidence to use everyday technologies such as computers, tablets and smartphones when applying for jobs in the current labour market.

These sessions are a great opportunity to build practical online skills that can support your job search and working life, while connecting with others and asking questions in a relaxed and supportive setting.

For more information about these events, speak with your Global Skills Employment Consultant.

Recently, Global Skills had the opportunity to attend the Central Coast Employment and Opportunities Day at the Oasis Youth Services Centre in Wyong, with thanks to Homes NSW.

The event brought together local education, training, employment and community service providers to connect with social housing tenants and share information about the support available to them. It provided a welcoming space for attendees to learn about opportunities, build skills, access services and have their voices heard.

When employment and accommodation providers work closely together, residents can access the right support earlier and see a clearer pathway from stable housing to skills development, meaningful work and greater independence.

Our team spent the day connecting with attendees and talking about the opportunities and support available through Global Skills’ Transition to Work (TtW) and Workforce Australia programs.

It was also a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our relationships with other organisations supporting people across the Central Coast.

Thank you to Homes NSW, Oasis Youth Services, the participating service providers and everyone who contributed to the day. We look forward to continuing this collaboration and helping more Central Coast residents connect with sustainable employment.

30/09/2026

Mental Health Month is recognised across Australia each October, encouraging people, communities and organisations to come together to promote mental health and wellbeing through awareness, conversation, connection and support.

In NSW, Mental Health Month is led by Wayahead - Mental Health Association NSW, which has chosen ‘A Little Connection Goes a Long Way’ as the 2026 theme. The theme encourages us all to find simple, achievable ways to connect with others, our community, culture, interests or ourselves.

As an employment services provider, Global Skills recognises the important role connection can play in helping people participate in work, training and community life. Every day, we support people to build connections through employment, learning opportunities, community engagement and access to support services.

For Global Skills participants who may need additional support, GSPlus, delivered in partnership with Uniting NSW/ACT and CatholicCare Diocese of Broken Bay, provides free access to qualified allied health professionals, including registered psychologists.

To learn more about Mental Health Month in NSW, this year’s theme and practical ways to build connection, visit Wayahead at https://wayahead.org.au/mentalhealthmonth

Congratulations to Global Skills Wyong participant Rose, who has celebrated 6 months in employment.

Rose* joined Global Skills in October 2024 through the Corrective Services NSW Work Readiness Program. With a long term goal to work back in an office environment, Rose set out to rebuild her work capacity and current work experience.

“I was open to any employment opportunity that would help me get back into the workforce. I had more than a 2-year gap on my résumé, which I was worried about, but the support I received made what could have been a difficult transition much more manageable,” Rose said.

“Martin Petersons, Global Skills Executive Manager Industry and Justice Services and the Work Readiness Team were so helpful. I gained my forklift licence and traffic control ticket and built experience in logistics while at the transitional centre in Sydney. Once back on the Central Coast, I obtained my White Card and secured warehousing roles with support from Global Skills Wyong. They also helped me update and refine my résumé and supported me with work-related travel and clothing.”

While continuing to build her experience, Rose kept her long-term goal of returning to office work in mind. She put her résumé on SEEK and was contacted by a local business. Following the application process, she was offered a reception role, where she has settled in well and is enjoying the work. Reaching 6 months in the position has been an important milestone for Rose.

Proud of how far she had come, Rose was keen to share the news with her Community Corrections Officer.

“I was so happy to send my Community Corrections Officer an email to let them know how well I was going,” she said.

Congratulations again, Rose, on reaching this important milestone and achieving your employment goal. Thank you for generously sharing your story.
