Hader Institute of Education: Where Career-Ready Training Begins
Kristen Michaelides I recently sat down with Jesse Lucchesi, Charlotte Kenrick, and Ann Tauman from Hader Institute of Education to explore how their online courses are helping students become job-ready from day one. Hader isn’t just about course delivery; it’s about career-focused, real-world education that leads to employment in Australia’s fastest-growing care sectors
Who is Hader Institute of Education?
Hader Institute of Education is not your typical course provider. Their mission goes beyond offering training as they focus on shaping the future of community services by giving learners the knowledge, skills, and support to lead lasting change in their communities.
As Jesse and the team shared with me, studying isn’t about ticking a box or collecting a certificate. It’s about building a career that directly contributes to community wellbeing and meets the urgent demand for qualified workers across Australia’s frontline support services
“Hader’s mission is to give as many people access to high-quality, affordable education as possible.”Jesse Lucchesi, Sales & Marketing Manager

What students have to say about studying with Hader
Hear directly from students currently studying the Diploma of Youth Work at Hader Institute of Education as they share their firsthand experience and what inspired them to join the sector.
Why work in the community services sector?
The community services sector is one of the most critical and rapidly growing sectors in Australia’s care economy. Whether it’s supporting people facing crisis, helping families navigate complex systems, or advocating for marginalised groups, this field offers the opportunity to make a tangible impact every day.
“There is quite a significant skill shortage in Australia, particularly in the youth and community space. If we can help with staffing issues and shortages that organisations have with really eager learners, these are all opportunities that we want to grow within the organisation.”
Jesse Lucchesi, Sales & Marketing Manager
If you’re looking for a career with purpose, flexibility, and long-term relevance, community services is the way to go. The sector continues to expand in response to national needs in areas like aged care, disability support, housing, and mental health. With the right qualification, you’ll be positioned to enter this workforce with confidence, clarity, and credibility.
