How it works

Sarina Russo Institute helps you develop the skills needed for local jobs. We will help – Get that Job, Keep that Job and Grow in that Job. We will keep you informed on major projects and vacancies in your local region. We use employers in our content design, so our EST is relevant to local needs. Our links to employers and industries provide guest presentations and interviews, creating a pathway to employment.

SRI will support you and prepare you for work through our specialist programs:
