About genU Training

genU Training is a division of genU that delivers valuable, job-ready and nationally recognised qualifications and vocational short courses. We advocate for expanded education and training options to people who live with a disability, are long-term unemployed and those most vulnerable in the community.

Harnessing diversity

At genU, we’re not all the same. And that’s one of our greatest strengths. We draw on the differences in who we are, what we’ve experienced and how we think.

We welcome diversity in all its forms, including culture, gender, disability, neurodiversity, age, sexuality, religion, spirituality, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritages. We respect the intersections of these identities and recognise the unique experiences and insights they bring to our organisation. Our commitment is to foster a welcoming, innovative, safe, empowering, and a respectful environment where these values are upheld every day.

Join Our Team!

The Industry Partnerships Coordinator is all about building, developing, and maintaining strong industry partnerships so that genU Training students have access to the placement opportunities they need to meet course requirements. With a focus on courses in the care industry (disability and aging), you will act as the link between industry partners and course coordinators, making sure placement arrangements are streamlined and communicated clearly to ensure everything runs smoothly. You will help the training team put strategies in place to make sure the learner experience stays the top priority, with a focus on the WA and SA regions.
