A Work Skill Instructor is responsible for teaching practical employment skills to individuals, often those with disabilities, long-term unemployment, or other barriers to employment. They design and deliver hands-on training programs tailored to the learner’s abilities and career goals, focusing on skills such as workplace communication, safety procedures, basic technical competencies, and teamwork.
Work Skill Instructors often work in community organisations, vocational training centres, or supported employment services, and collaborate with employers to ensure training aligns with industry needs. Their role also involves mentoring, providing feedback, and helping participants build the confidence necessary to transition into meaningful employment.
