THE region\u2019s jobseekers will be given a helping hand at the upcoming Heathcote Employment Expo.<\/p>\n
GROW Bendigo, the City of Greater Bendigo, Jobs Victoria, Workforce Australia, Heathcote Health, and Heathcote Community House are joining forces to bring employers and potential employees together.<\/p>\n
GROW Bendigo project manager Rob Murphy said the expo was a great chance for anyone looking for work to meet with prospective employers and learn about what they could offer.<\/p>\n
\u201cImportantly, in a period such as this, where there are shortages of appropriately skilled staff across a whole range of occupations, they are also a great way for employers to meet with a large number of qualified candidates in a short amount of time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe expo is designed to assist employers and jobseekers across the district, which includes Pyalong, Tooborac, Mia Mia, Redesdale, Toolleen, Graytown, Axedale, Goornong and Colbinabbin.<\/p>\n
\u201cHeathcote Community House will provide support to those small employers who may not otherwise have the resources to participate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Education providers will also be at the event to offer advice regarding learning and training opportunities, while recruitment specialists and agencies will provide information on what services they can deliver.<\/p>\n
Heathcote Health CEO Dan Douglass said it was important to have the expo in Heathcote.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis event provides a tremendous opportunity for local jobseekers from the Heathcote and district region to connect with local and regional employment and training providers and employers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to learning more about how we can support employment and training pathways for job seekers living in our sub-region.<\/p>\n
