THE Heathcote and district employment expo on Tuesday, 2 May is aiming to give job seekers, career changers, and employers the chance to connect.<\/p>\n
Heathcote Community House executive officer Vicki Forde said the event was a great way to find out about local options.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome along regardless of where you live, come from surrounding towns,\u201d she said. \u201cWith all that we’ve got to offer in Heathcote, it’s a beautiful place to work.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not driving in Melbourne traffic to get here and there\u2019s lots of change happening in town.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe expo isn\u2019t just for those who are unemployed, or are looking for career changes, or to get back into the workforce; there\u2019s a lot of government assistance that can really help both employers and employees and there\u2019ll be information about that too.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can also come along and find out information for someone else if they can\u2019t make it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Heathcote Health is one of the many employers who will be at the expo.<\/p>\n
Their customer and consumer relationship manager Sandra Whytcross said the organisation offered many opportunities and the chance to progress through the ranks.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’ve worked for Heathcote Health for 22 years,\u201d she said. \u201cIt’s place you can start off in one role, develop skills and then change your role into a different one.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’ve had people that have started in our support services teams that have ended up being nursing staff. We’re very keen on training people up and upskilling.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a great place to work. It’s part of the community and the community are part of it.<\/p>\n
Representatives from support agencies will also be at the expo making it a one-stop shop for everything employment related.<\/p>\n
The event runs from midday to 2pm at Barrack Reserve, 126 High Street, Heathcote and to register call Ms Forde on 0431 328 421.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
