From a humble beginning, when we opened our doors on 26 May 1980, Advance has grown from having two staff and one site, to a successful, multi-faceted organisation with three sites and more than 40 staff.
Advance has delivered a range of key, government initiatives from Community Youth Support Scheme (CYSS) and SkillShare in the 1980s to Employment Services and Work Experience programs in the 1990s to preparatory, pre-accredited and accredited training over the last 25 years. Our prime focus is to encourage and support engagement in education by providing opportunities to enhance current skills, learn new skills and improve career prospects for the most disadvantaged members of our local community.
We are committed to providing best practice services that align with industry and community demands and workforce needs. Located in Rosebud, Hastings and Mornington, Advance offers pre-accredited and nationally accredited training, foundation skills and short courses providing pathways to employment and/or further study. We also provide vocational and job seeking support and traineeship/apprenticeship training.
