Training that Transforms

SkillUp SA is a leading South Australian training provider dedicated to empowering adults through practical education, confidence building, and real employment pathways.

We specialise in working with adult learners who may have struggled at school, lost confidence and who may be anxious about undertaking new learning. Our programs focus on building skills, motivation, and belief in what is possible.

SkillUp SA has recently established a new Learning Centre in Patterson Street, Whyalla, creating a vibrant hub for adult education across the Upper Spencer Gulf.

We are also proud to have been recently recognised as WINNER at the 2026 South Australian Training Awards.

As our programs grow, we are seeking a dynamic full-time facilitator who is ready to bring energy, empathy, and leadership into the classroom.
