Wodonga TAFE
10 months
The Life Skills Program empowers post-school learners with intellectual disabilities to develop practical independence and community participation skills. Through real-world applications in budgeting, travel, relationships, and digital literacy, students build confidence and self-determination for long-term well-being.
Students must have evidence of a permanent cognitive impairment or intellectual disability. All potential students must attend a pre-training interview to determine their suitability, discuss individual goals, and identify any barriers to learning. Students should bring basic stationery items including A4 notebook, ruler, pens, pencils, eraser, and pencil case. No prior qualifications are required.
The program covers five compulsory units: Be an Effective Volunteer (CHCVOL001), Prepare Simple Budgets (VU23241), Explore Self Development (VU24042), Participate in Travel Activities (VU24043), and Participate in Recreational Activities (VU24050). Learning focuses on practical life skills including independent living, budgeting and financial management, government support navigation, recreation and leisure activities, travel planning and participation, relationship building, and safe internet use. All content is delivered through real-life applications and personalised learning approaches tailored to individual student needs.
Wodonga TAFE is a registered training organisation (RTO 3097) with extensive experience in vocational education and community services. The institution provides individualised information sessions, school experience days, and 'Come and Try' days to support student transition. Their commitment to inclusive, accessible education and personalised learning pathways ensures students receive support tailored to their specific goals and learning barriers.
Upon completion, graduates develop enhanced independence and confidence for community participation. The program prepares learners for greater autonomy in daily living, financial management, and social engagement. Skills developed support long-term well-being, informed decision-making, and active participation in community life. Graduates may progress to further vocational training or community-based activities aligned with their individual goals and aspirations.
