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
• Provide First Aid
• Pool Lifeguard 
• Pool Operations
• Swim Teacher
• Aquatic Trainer
• Bronze Star

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)
