Local Jobs Program
COVID-19 has had an unprecedented impact on the Australian labour market. Together with longer term economic trends that are changing skill requirements in many jobs and occupations, there is urgency in assisting job seekers to navigate this change.
Through the Local Jobs Program, Employment Facilitators work with employers and other key local stakeholders to develop employment solutions at a local level, and support Australians back into work across 51 regions in Australia.
Recognizing the importance of local knowledge in getting people back into jobs quickly, the Local Jobs Program includes the following key elements in each region:
• a local Employment Facilitator
• a Local Jobs and Skills Taskforce
• a Local Jobs Plan
• a Local Recovery Fund to support small scale activities in each region
• access to the National Priority Funding Pool.
