Bass Coast to host the Local Jobs Expo in October 2023 to connect employers and workers
Bass Coast Local Jobs Expo in October will bring many job opportunities in early childcare, health care, construction, hospitality and tourism.
Local businesses have signed up to the upcoming Local Jobs Expo in record numbers presenting a range of employment opportunities for jobseekers. In particular there are a large range of opportunities for people wishing to be employed within early childcare, health care, construction, hospitality as well as tourism jobs. We encourage all jobseekers - whether seeking new employment, looking for a change or further employment to attend. There will also be a range of traineeship and apprenticeship opportunities with local providers keen to meet potential new employees.
Bass Coast Local Jobs Expo is an opportunity to connect with businesses, learn about local industries and find your next job this October
Employment webinar
We will also be running a Roadmap to Employment: From Resume to Offer Letter webinar to prepare job seekers in the leadup to the Jobs Expos. The webinar will focus on how to create a resume and cover letter that makes you stand out and how to prepare for an interview.
Bass Coast Shire Council, in conjunction with the Australian government's Local Jobs Program, South Gippsland Bass Coast Local Learning and Employment Network and the state government's Skills and Jobs Centre will be hosting a range of events in October including the Local Jobs Expo.
A physical jobs board will be available to display local vacancies, which will enable connection with employers who are unable to attend on the day, or who have just one or two vacancies.
Jobs expo opportunities
Mayor, Cr Michael Whelan said, "We know that underemployment is a challenge in our region and we hope this Jobs Expo will help to fill the gaps for people seeking further employment. There are businesses and services showcasing career pathways throughout the expo. We also know there are people on a pension who may require additional supplements of funds who we hope will be able to find a placement where they can earn more."
"We ask that all our local colleges, job provider networks, high schools and other service providers get in touch and encourage people to attend. We have a surplus of jobs ready for our community as well as visitors to the region with upcoming seasonal work," Cr Whelan said.
