New phase of growth for A4e Australia
A4e are proud to announce the purchase of Australian Employment and Training Solutions (AETS), a registered training organisation delivering accredited training and skills development in NSW, Victoria and Tasmania.
A4e Australia currently provides employment services to out of work Australians under the Job Services Australia program in Sydney and regional New South Wales.
Victorian based AETS offers nationally accredited training predominantly in business, hospitality, retail and community services working closely with employers to address skills shortages in New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.
Andrew Dutton, Executive Director for A4e’s International Business, said “this is A4e’s first international acquisition, and this purchase signals A4e’s clear strategic intent to continue to invest in the growth of our international activities whilst enhancing the diversity of the services we deliver”.
Shula congratulates Heather from AETS
Shula Kentwell, Chief Executive of A4e Australia, said “we are delighted to welcome AETS into the A4e group; this is an important investment in the Australian business, which is progressing well. The deal will significantly increase the range of services A4e is able to offer to out of work Australians as well as helping employers who are seeking trained staff and wanting to up-skill their existing workforce”.
“With the Australian focus now being very much on ensuring people are able to secure long-term sustainable employment, it is a natural and logical step to bring an employment services specialist like A4e and a skills acquisition-focused specialist like AETS together,“ she said.
