West Vic Business attended one of the sixteen Jobs Victoria Local Jobs Forums. It was wonderful for us to join and hear from local employers, community leaders, jobseekers, and employment and training service providers about the employment challenges and opportunities across our area of Victoria.
Please download the Jobs Victoria ‘Snapshot’ of the Forums that provides a summary of the key themes, ideas and opportunities that emerged from the Forums. The Forums are an important first step in designing effective, relevant, local employment solutions.
We really valued participating, contributing and being part of the almost fifteen hundred people who attended the Forums.
