genU Training is committed to providing vocational pathways for people with a disability.

These courses support learners to improve their language and literacy, learn skills to take part in the community and develop confidence and the ability to find meaningful work.

Volunteers provide in class assistance to help learners reach their educational goals, under the guidance of a classroom trainer.

Learners graduate from their 12-month course with several important employability skills.
