Directions Workforce Solution exists to help Western Australian businesses recruit, retain and develop their workforce, while also giving people practical pathways into work through apprenticeships, traineeships and career support. We are a strongly outcome-focused organisation, and we strive to make a real difference, remove barriers to employment, and support individuals, employers and communities with flexible workforce solutions that create long-term value. We really care about what we do, and we do it because we believe good workforce support changes lives, strengthens business, and helps build healthier communities for the long term.
Our Core Purpose at Direction’s Workforce Solutions is to train and empower individuals and organisations to build a better future for themselves and others.
Directions supports the economics, social and cultural wellbeing of both our communities and our clients by offering a collaborative and inclusive approach to group training and skills development.
Direction’s vision is to be Western Australia’s most trusted partner for inclusive pathways into work, training and growth. We strive to build stronger and sustainable communities where every person has the opportunity and support.
Diversity, for Directions, means actively creating pathways for people from different backgrounds, including Indigenous Australians, women in predominantly male trades, those who speak English as a second language, young people, disadvantaged jobseekers and others who may face barriers.
Creativity at Directions means finding better, more flexible ways to connect people and employers with each other. It shows up through innovative recruitment, tailored workforce solutions, and designing pathways that suit both apprentices, trainees and host businesses for a cultural fit
Integrity refers to doing the right thing (even when no one is watching) and having strong standards in governance, safety, compliance and service delivery. For Directions, it also means being accountable to its not-for-profit purpose, its community, and the people who rely on its support to succeed.
Commitment refers to staying true to Direction’s Charitable Purpose, as we have continued to do so for many years. It reflects persistence, follow-through, and a long-term focus on outcomes, relationships and real impact rather than short-term gain. We are what we do repeatedly.
Respect means treating every person with dignity, listening to understand, and providing support that is culturally appropriate, practical and human. This is shown through our community focus and a genuine belief that all people should be supported to succeed and thrive.
Our work is guided by a belief that strong values create stronger outcomes. As a registered charity, we are accountable to the communities we serve, and remaining committed to doing what is right for individuals, employers and the broader community.
When you speak to Directions Workforce Solutions, you are speaking to a team that values genuine relationships, responsible governance and meaningful support, with every decision.
