Event Calendar

GAN Australia and the Apprenticeship Employment Network are currently undertaking a research project with support from the Australian Apprenticeships and Traineeships Information Services that is focused on:

• Promoting digital capacity building for vulnerable underserved groups and
• providing government and policy influencers with a set of examples to advance digital transformation opportunities in Australia, when these are related to work-based learning programmes that help vulnerable groups with their school-to-work transition or reconnection into the labour market.

This project aligns with Microsoft and LinkedIn’s global recommendations for an inclusive economic recovery post COVID-19 and beyond in 2021.

Please join us on Tuesday, 23rd February, for an overview of a range of resources that you can use to support Australian job seekers.

Key topics covered in the webinar include:

• Introduction & overview of the current Australian digital skills environment
• Australian Apprenticeship & Traineeship and Digital Skills Jobs Market Update
• Microsoft and LinkedIn’s free online learning resources, covering digital literacy, fluency, soft skills and 10 career learning pathways linked to in-demand jobs

Join us for our 2020 Catch-up Awards Dinner as the Apprenticeship Employment Network (AEN) and Global Apprenticeship Network (GAN) Australia celebrates the achievements of apprentices, trainees and group training organisations.

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

The dates for NRW remain the same each year; 27 May to 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey— the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision respectively.

Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
