HITsa Partners with Jobs Statewide

to Empower Job Seekers with Retail Training

HITsa is ecstatic to announce it’s partnership with Jobs Statewide to deliver the SIR30216 Certificate III in Retail, aimed at providing clients with valuable skills training for employment. The training commenced on June 11th at three Jobs Statewide sites: Oaklands, Elizabeth, and Woodville. The next intake is set to begin early August.

Training commenced on 11.06.2024 with students graduating on 26.07.2024, during which students gain a full qualification. To keep the learning process engaging, the curriculum includes a blend of written exercises with fun, practical activities, making the learning process both enjoyable and effective.

“Produce Visual Merchandise Displays” was a clear favourite amongst the students. Taking opportunities as they presented, the Oaklands group left the classroom to visit Westfield to take in the retail environment surrounding them, learning what makes a great visual display.

And over at Elizabeth students posed with their “Christmas in July” Visual Display – great effort all!

To support student engagement and attendance, Jobs Statewide generously provides lunch daily. This initiative allowed students to bond and form new friendships. As the program progressed, students became more comfortable with each other and by the end, feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many students exchanging personal information to stay in touch.

A crucial aspect of the training was not only to equip students with the skills required for retail positions but also to enhance their social skills, celebrate participation and attendance, and instil a sense of responsibility and routine. These elements are essential for their future endeavours.

To celebrate their achievements, a graduation ceremony was held. For many students, it was the first time they had completed a program from start to finish and achieved a tangible outcome. Celebrating these milestones is vital as it encourages them to pursue new opportunities and builds confidence in their abilities.

HITsa and Jobs Statewide are proud of the success of this program and look forward to continuing to empower individuals with the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the retail industry and beyond. We look forward to seeing our students succeed and make meaningful contributions to the workforce.
