Overview

If you have special learning needs and would like to learn about working in hospitality, the Certificate II in Work Education 22631VIC at Victoria University is for you.

Designed for people with intellectual disability or cognitive impairment, this supportive program develops skills for work in hospitality. It is the next step up from the 22566VIC Certificate I in Work Education, which gives you foundations for your first job.

The course is open to people with learning needs who are old enough to have completed school and would like to learn what is expected at work in kitchens and cafes.

Learning in professional hospitality facilities, you will experience the world of work with support from your teachers. With new confidence, you can build your skills in a real workplace during your practical placement.

In an inclusive, caring environment with specialist teachers, you will explore:

  • which jobs are right for you
  • what kind of behaviour is expected at work
  • safe ways of working.

We can also teach you how to travel to work using public transport, prepare simple meals in a professional kitchen, and how to interview for a job.
