Member for Robertson, Deborah O?Neill urged job seekers on the NSW Central Coast to attend the Australian Government Jobs and Skills Expo in Gosford on Friday 16 March at the Gosford Showgrounds.
?Job seekers of all ages and those looking to further their careers with more training will be presented with hundreds of jobs and skills training opportunities at the Expo,? Ms O?Neill said.
?The Jobs and Skills Expo is part of the Australian Government?s action plan to tackle unemployment and skills gaps on the Central Coast.?
?Creating new jobs and connecting Coasties with existing jobs is my top priority. That?s why I?ve arranged for the Government to bring the Jobs and Skills Expo back to the Central Coast.
?A previous Jobs and Skills Expo held on the Central Coast in March 2010 connected more than 2,500 local job seekers with hundreds of jobs on the day, so we want to build on that success with another expo.?
The Gosford Jobs and Skills Expo will have big jobs boards displaying a variety of jobs on offer and a skills board where local skills training organisations promote courses available in the area.
Minister for Employment Participation, Kate Ellis encouraged job seekers, employers and training and educational organisations in the region to get involved in the expo, which is part of the Government?s ?Building Australia?s Future Workforce? initiative.
?This is an excellent opportunity for local job seekers and people interested in undertaking further skills training to meet a range of employers and training providers in a single location,? Ms Ellis said.
?The Government is supporting employers through programs and incentives to help find and train people with the skills they need, and the Jobs and Skills Expos provide a great opportunity to connect employers with potential employees.
?The expos are designed to create a jobs and skills marketplace, connecting job seekers with jobs and skills training opportunities.
?There will be employers, employment services providers and training providers together with other agencies, all under one roof, all on one day.
?It is never too late to up-skill, re-skill or engage in the workforce and these expos are helping people on the Central Coast to take the first step.
?All Australians should have the opportunity to share in the nation?s success, and the skills shortages affecting many industries means there?s never been a better time to undertake some training to secure a job.?
Since October 2009, the 44 Jobs and Skills Expos held across Australia have attracted more than 161,000 people and connected more than 16,500 people with employment and many thousands more to training opportunities.
The Gosford Jobs and Skills Expo will be held at the Gosford Showgrounds, Showground Rd, Gosford from 10 am ? 3 pm on Friday, 16 March 2012.
Those interested in exhibiting at the Australian Government Jobs and Skills Expo in Gosford should call 13 1158 or visit the website at www.humanservices.gov.au/expos.
