As a proud Learn Local provider, we deliver our Learning Together program in the Hume City Council area, funded through the Victorian Government’s Adult, Community and Further Education (ACFE) Board.
VICSEG New Futures’ Learning Together program brings together newly arrived families with young children (under five years) to develop skills in basic conversational English.
During the four-hour sessions, a facilitator supports mothers to engage in conversational English while their children are cared for by a qualified early childhood worker in an adjacent room. Towards the end of the sessions, children re-join their mothers over story time or sing-alongs, offering an opportunity for mothers to practice their latest conversational English skills with their kids.
The program also helps mothers build confidence leaving their children in the care of others, thus supporting smoother transitions to kinder and schooling.
Learn Local courses are pre-accredited short courses free to study for eligible adult Victorians. They cover a broad range of subjects, including digital skills, literacy, numeracy, cooking, employability skills, and industry-specific preparation like aged care and hospitality.
These courses offer flexible learning options, including classroom and online formats, and are delivered by experienced trainers in a welcoming and supportive environment.
As a Learn Local provider, New Futures Training provides short courses that can help you on your pathway to further study, improving your digital, reading and writing skills, getting a job or simply learning something new.
