Training with Talent Pool

Teach, train, transform.
Talent Pool candidates undertake a transformational journey as they 'dive' into their training, completing the necessary accredited and non-accredited training to become professionals in the aquatic industry.
Portfolio of Achievement:
Participants can select the training they wish to undertake, including:
- Bronze Medallion

- Pool Lifeguard
- Pool Operations

Completed qualifications result in enhanced workplace skills, industry employment, and opportunities to transition to alternative employment paths.
Expectations:
Talent Pool has high expectations of its candidates, who are expected to:
- Turn up to scheduled training or courses on time
(If you are enrolled but unable to attend, you must let the Talent Pool coordinator know at least 2 days prior to the course commencement)
- Have a positive attitude and be willing to participate in all activities and training
- Bring the appropriate clothing and equipment (e.g. water bottle) to training
Support:
The Talent Pool program has the flexibility to tailor support to meet the needs of our students by:
- Paying for accredited training for people new to, and wanting to enter, the aquatic industry
- Adopting a 'no-fail' policy: if a participant is unable to pass a section of the course, they can be allocated time and support to develop the necessary skills and fitness
- Subsidising, at the program's discretion, course payments for existing indigenous staff maintained by the program or that enhances their employment opportunities (considered on a case-by-case basis)
