This research examines the employment and further education outcomes and experiences of former AMES Australia clients who completed the Settlement Language Pathways to Employment and Training (SLPET) program in 2014-15. SLPET is an Australia-wide, government funded program targeted at recently arrived migrants from non-English speaking backgrounds (NESB) with the aim of assisting them to improve their English proficiency whilst giving them exposure to Australian workplace cultures and practices. This report provides an analysis of the employment outcomes and post-course activities including further education and training of 460 AMES Australia clients who participated in the SLPET program. It identifies the program components that have been effective in securing employment or finding a pathway to further training through clients' feedback on the program.
