Member for Port Macquarie, Leslie Williams said the NSW Adult Community Education (ACE) Community Service Obligation (CSO) program helped thousands of regional and remote learners in NSW get access to formal education and training to help them increase their chances of finding employment.
“Some students need more support and the courses funded through the ACE CSO provide an important pathway for foundation skills, pre-vocational or bridging programs to more formal education and work-related training, with the program giving priority to people with a disability or at-risk groups,” Mrs Williams said.
“These organisations are generally small but well connected with the community, providing quality training and support for disadvantaged people to support their transition into further training and jobs, and access to recognised training in regional and remote communities.
“Courses funded through the ACE CSO program can provide a pathway for foundation skills, pre-vocational or bridging programs to more formal education and work-related training.”
