The NSW Government is committed to strengthening communities by supporting learners to gain essential skills through the Adult and Community Education (ACE) program. We’re inspired by Lina and Shaha, refugees from Iraq who fled conflict in 2014. Despite numerous challenges, they found healing and pursued further education through the ‘Turning Points’ program, a non-accredited ACE foundation skills course at Coffs Coast Community College, empowering them to build brighter futures. Adult and community education provides a safe place for learners of any age or background to enhance their skills and pursue different training pathways. Let's celebrate the achievements and positive impact of the ACE program during this National Skills Week! 🎉📚 #NationalSkillsWeek

Bek always wanted to operate machines – she grew up tinkering with trucks and machinery – and after having three sons, decided to start her career in the construction sector. She gained experience on a road construction job, then worked at a local council depot with various heavy machinery. She has proudly earned her tickets for driving a bobcat, roller, and traffic control, and a forklift license. She continues to train on different machines. Bek’s message to young women: "It doesn’t matter where you come from; you can do anything you set your mind to." As part of the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Roadmap, the NSW Government is working to increase participation in apprenticeships and traineeships, and we’re passionate about encouraging more women like Bek to take up a trade.
