Jobs Southern NSW & ACT (JobsSNA)
Building on the success of our Jobs Southern Inland (JobsSI) pilot program in 2023 under the Local Recovery Fund, we have been successful in securing the tender to extend this workforce development program until June 2025, under the new project name, Jobs Southern NSW and ACT (JobsSNA).
The program involves working with key local industry employers, and other employment pathway stakeholders to provide information session to find out details of local jobs, and learn about training opportunities, direct from the employers themselves.
Participants gain an awareness of the range of roles available and opportunities for work in specific industry areas and participate in short and engaging ‘top tips” sessions on the following topics:
Selling yourself to employers
How to make your resume stand out
Workplace requirements such as PPE and WHS
Career aspirations
All participants are invited to attend industry tours, direct with the employers, and are given the opportunity to engage in training opportunities relevant to the industry field.
This project is aimed at increasing awareness among participants of industry sectors that are experiencing workforce shortages to help those participants better understand the range of roles on offer, improving pathways to sustainable employment .
JobsSNA will be active in Goulburn, Yass Valley, Queanbeyan-Palerang, and Snowy Monaro and will provide an opportunity for participants from these regions to confidently engage with employers, and to then link the participants into jobs.
Participants will gain a better understanding of the range of roles available, career opportunities and hear directly from workers in different roles about the benefits of jobs in each industry area.
Throughout the activity, employers will be encouraged to link immediately with participants offering opportunities for work trials or interviews that provide a pathway to sustainable employment.
