Employment Services

Wesley Mission’s Employment Services (WUE) operate from 59 locations in Sydney, major regional centres and smaller communities across NSW, assisting people to identify the vocational path that allows them to use the skills and experiences that God has given them. Employing 470 staff, this year we placed more than 15,000 people into employment, education and training. With our help, many have overcome severe and multiple barriers to work and enjoy meaningful participation in their local community.

Within our Employment Services we offer the following:

Job Network – offers services from 28 sites across New South Wales and South East Queensland. Through Job Network, WUE provides a range of services for eligible jobseekers to place them into employment.
JPET (Job Placement, Employment and Training) - is a free, flexible and individual program which helps young people aged 15 to 21 that are homeless or might become homeless and/or are facing many personal and social difficulties.
