New program for indigenous seekers |
| 15 March 2011 |
 Media coverage - Scone Advocate, 10 March 2011 A new employment program involving the health and child care industries has recently been launched in Scone, Muswellbrook and Singleton. The program offers indigenous residents looking for work, a career in the fields of health and childcare and provides ongoing support to the employee in their position. Launched by Mission Australia Employment Solutions, the Indigenous Employment Program is a joint initiative with the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. About 40 Indigenous community members living in the Upper Hunter will be assisted in seeking positions in nursing, aged and disability care, residential support, administration and child care positions, as well as receiving pre-vocational training to improve their job readiness. Mission Australia Employment Solutions regional manager Jodie Gilliland said with so many job opportunities currently available in these fields and demand expected to increase over the next five years this program provides a great opportunity for local businesses to find the right job-ready employees. After completing their pre-vocational training, including obtaining their First Aid certificate and a Statement in Attainment in Community Health, participants will move on to receive further qualifications through completing traineeships. "We're keen to hear from local employers who are interested in partnering with us and benefiting from finding job-ready employees who are raring to go." Story courtesy of The Scone Advocate |
