a) Self-assessments to help Canberrans discover individualised work and learning styles in search of a suitable employment path
CIT offers a range of support services to potential students which includes career guidance and advice through CIT Student Services and Student Support. Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) assessments are also facilitated by CIT through the Vocational Skills and Pathways department to assist Canberrans who are needing assistance in understanding their study capabilities and to identify areas where students may need additional learning support to achieve the best outcomes.
b) Home and life services where Canberrans can find help for tuition, food assistance, healthcare and childcare
Vocational Education and Training support
CIT offers a wide range of support mechanisms for students in need which include fee assistance, disability support, study support, counselling, migrant support and international student support. The CIT Student Association (CITSA) is also active in providing a range of support services for students including student accommodation, preparatory skills for employment including resume assistance and interview preparation, peer tutoring and provide advocacy support for students when needed. In addition to these services, CIT also offers a wide breadth of support for Indigenous students through the CIT Yurauna Centre.
General food relief service provision
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and as part of the Community Support Package to meet the increased service demands for emergency relief, the ACT Government allocated funding to support food relief in the ACT. The ACT Government worked with community partners to establish the Canberra Relief Network (CRN), mobilising a collective effort across the sector to respond to the needs of the community. By coordinating on behalf of Canberra community agencies, the CRN has greater leverage with suppliers to facilitate as much food as possible into a central location to then be distributed locally.
