Partnering to fill a labour shortage
We work with industries and employers to find and train workers to fill skill or labour shortages. We partner with them to create recruitment, training and support packages tailored to their specific needs.
What are industry partnerships
Industry partnerships are a way for industries, employers and government to work together to:
- minimise skill and labour shortages
- maximise job and career opportunities.
We want employers to be able to get workers with the right skills when they need them.
Who we partner with
We form Industry partnerships with employers or organisations that represent large groups of employers such as:
- national industry associations
- Chambers of Commerce
- large retail chains.
Our partnerships generally include the relevant industry training organisations.
The services we offer
A dedicated account manager will work with their partner to:
- learn about their present and future recruitment and workforce needs
- develop and tailor products and services to meet their needs
- provide a single point of contact for Work and Income and other government agencies.
We offer the partner a package of products and services which may include things such as:
- seasonal strategies
- recruitment seminars
- a dedicated work broker
- pre-employment training programmes (Straight 2 Work).
