Event Calendar

‘The Trades Fit – Young Women in Trades and Tech’ is an inaugural expo hosted by the Victorian Department of Education and Training. The expo showcases employment options within the trades and tech industries, with interactive displays set up for students to experience what these careers could be.

The expo will introduce female students in years 9 and 10 to career pathways in traditionally male dominated industries, and provide information about how they can pursue exciting career opportunities in these fields.

Leading the activity for National Careers Week, The Trades Fit lets young women connect with employers, key industry organisations and supporters of gender equity, that are helping women step into these fields.

Students will hear from trade and tech representatives from fields including building and construction, electrical engineering, plumbing, automotive, transport and logistics, mining, agriculture and horticulture, aviation, marine, and many more.

Mental health first aid is the help provided to someone who is developing a mental health problem, has a worsening of an existing mental health problem or is in a mental health crisis. The first aid is given until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves. Mental health first aid strategies are taught in evidence-based training programs authorised by Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Australia and conducted by MHFA instructors across Australia.

The Accredited Youth Mental Health First Aid Course is for adults working with adolescents (up to 18 years of age), however the course is relevant for those helping people who are a little older.

Timelines / Delivery:

The blended Youth MHFA course includes a combination of self-paced eLearning, and an instructor-led workshop.

• Self-paced interactive eLearning (7 hours) to be completed before 9 October 2022.
• Course participants will have 4 weeks (after registrations close) to complete the interactive self-paced eLearning component prior to joining the workshop on 10 October. They will learn about mental health problems, mental health crises, and skills to offer initial help to a young person developing a mental health problem or in a mental health crisis.

Course Component 2

• Face-to-face workshop, 1 x 6 hours on Monday 10 October, 10.00am – 4.00pm at AEN training room, 83 Hobsons Road, Kensington.
