Every region has people and organisations working hard to improve local jobs and skills outcomes: employers, education and training providers, employment services, government programs, unions and community groups. Too often, those efforts sit in separate places and are hard for local people to find.
Operating as a social enterprise, Workinitiatives provides free local jobs and skills infrastructure across Australia’s employment regions. Eligible community and government stakeholders can activate a free core Jobs, Skills and Economic Development Hub for their region, using enabling technology to amplify the services and programs that already exist.
In this 45-minute online briefing, you will:
- see a live demonstration of a regional jobs, skills and economic development hub
- learn how local stakeholders can coordinate existing programs, services and opportunities in one place
- understand how employers in eligible communities can advertise local vacancies and connect with local talent
- explore the free core platform offer and who is eligible
- learn the simple steps to explore a hub for your region.
Who is this for?
This briefing is for anyone working to strengthen jobs, skills and economic outcomes in their region, including:
- Local councils and economic development teams
- Regional Development Australia (RDA) committees
- Local Jobs Coordinators and employment service providers
- State and territory government agencies
- Unions, industry and employer groups
- Community and regional organisations
- Education and training providers
If your organisation supports local people into work, helps employers find talent, or promotes your region as a place to live and work, this session is for you.
The session is hosted by Chris Carman, Co-Founder of Workinitiatives.
A recording will be shared with everyone who registers.
