As a national, independent not-for-profit organisation, SSE’s mission is to widen access for more people to pursue opportunities that will help lay the foundations for new and more inclusive prosperity.
Their endeavours support equitable and inclusive access to future jobs. SSE works in collaborative partnership with industry, government, councils, community, and education providers to help build Australia’s skills economy and remove barriers to employment for more individuals.
