How is ImproveMe helping Australians who
have experienced job loss due to COVID-19?
To support those impacted by the wide spread job losses that have been experienced around Australia as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are pleased to announce we are providing free access to the ImproveMe Development Portal until 31 July 2020.
Anyone can now undertake the complimentary ImproveMe Competency Assessment to identify their two key competencies (strengths) and then sign up to access our online portal for free. Identify potential future careers of interest, read guidance on the wide variety of ways you can seek to explore these careers further, as well as access an array of tailored content to help you develop and grow your key competencies further.
In addition, we have partnered with Torrens University Australia to provide all ImproveMe users with free access to the full suite of online short courses provided by the University at no cost (from now until the end of the year).

What do people say about ImproveMe?
Tiana Iuvale
National Key Account Manager
“I like the way the ImproveMe reports shift from learning about yourself to developing yourself.”
Sam Menegola
AFL Footballer
“I would have loved to have been able to use ImproveMe while I was at Fremantle, and even more so once I was delisted. As a full-time athlete, it’s hard to know what you don’t know about the business world. ImproveMe would have helped me realise my real strengths, and more importantly, what they translate to and how to get a foot in the door in those industries – not to mention the on-field performance improvements it would have made.”
Tim Cotton
Marketing Officer
“A really cool feature was the peer assessment, where it gave me the opportunity to have a colleague assess me as a worker / person. This has given me some great direction on which skills I need to improve to get to the next level of my career”
