Certificate IV in Entrepreneurship and New Business

For over 40 years, Novaskill has been dedicated to assisting local people to reach their full potential through the provision of quality training, employment and community services. 

Our mission is to support communities by enriching people’s lives, so every one of our employees can make a greater contribution to their family and their community.

Governed by a voluntary board of directors, our organisation was founded as a result of the severe economic downturn experienced in the Hunter region in the early 1980s.  Hunter Group Apprentice, later becoming Hunter Group Training, was established to ensure young local apprentices could continue on with their trade training even if they did not have a day-to-day job to go to. This group was hosted out to local employers and received ongoing training, so that when the economy improved, they were able to continue on their career path and enjoy a successful trade career.

Now recognised as one of Australia’s longest operating group training companies, we have had the immense pleasure to be able to continue offering exceptional career opportunities to thousands of apprentices and trainees.
