Workforce Australia Local Jobs aims to ensure the maximum number of people are placed in appropriate employment or training opportunities as quickly as possible to meet employer needs as labour markets recover. To achieve this, expertise, resources and access to funding will be brought together at the local level to focus on reskilling, upskilling and employment pathways.
Employers are a key stakeholder and the Local Jobs works collaboratively with employers and other stakeholders to understand the needs of local employers, and design projects to upskill or reskill individuals to meet the demands of local industries.
Barwon region local initiatives
- Introductions to Employment Service Providers who have a talent pool of over 5,000 jobseekers who they work with
