About Workforce Australia Local Jobs
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people’s lives can be long lasting. The federal government’s Workforce Australia Local Jobs program aims to reskill, upskill and develop employment pathways that assist people to move back into jobs as the economy recovers.
SSI provides employment facilitator services under the program across the Sydney South-West, Gold Coast and Wivenhoe regions in New South Wales and Queensland. We connect employers and training providers with job seekers.
