SYDNEY EAST METRO
HOW CAN WE HELP?
If you are a community group or individual with ideas for skills and employment solutions or your business has workforce needs, the Local Jobs Program can work with you to develop solutions.
The Local Jobs Program brings together businesses and community organisations to connect people to training, jobs and support services, and to support businesses with their workforce needs.
Your Sydney East Metro Job Coordinator can:
- Connect you with programs, services, funding opportunities and resources in your local area.
- Provide advice to help businesses get the most out of hiring practices to attract and retain the right staff.
- Work with organisations to develop workforce initiatives and solutions.
- Share information and insights about the skills and workforce priorities and actions in the Local Jobs Plan.
Each Job Coordinator has access to a Local Initiatives Fund to support small employment activities and collaborative community initiatives.
JOBS AND SKILL TASKFORCE
Sydney East Metro has a Local Jobs and Skills Taskforce, chaired by the Job Coordinator, Kelly Hayes.
Taskforce members are highly valued and represent, and are reflective of, their community. Taskforce members work collaboratively in developing local solutions to help people gain the right skills to get a job, and in assisting employer workforce needs.
If you would like to see how your Local Jobs and Skills Taskforce could assist you, please contact us.
LOCAL JOBS PLAN
The Job Coordinator and Taskforce have developed a Local Jobs Plan, which outlines employment priorities and actions. It can be used by individuals, organisations and communities to understand their local labour market, and help inform local initiatives that assist their community.
Local data and insights ensure the Local Jobs Plan reflects the skills and workforce needs of the region.
The Sydney East Metro Local Jobs Plan is updated regularly and published here.
Our current priorities for the region are:
Priority 1 – Employment pathways
Priority 2 – Healthcare and social assistance
Priority 3 – Construction and infrastructure workforce targets
Priority 4 – Indigenous employment
Priority 5 – Youth
