Workforce Australia Local Jobs
Local Jobs aims to ensure people are placed in appropriate employment.
Funded through the Department of Employment and Workforce Relations, Local Jobs aims to ensure the maximum number of people are placed in appropriate employment or training opportunities as quickly as possible to meet employer needs as labour markets recover and adjust. To achieve this, expertise, resources, and access to funding are brought together at the local level to focus on reskilling, upskilling and employment pathways.Key stakeholders including employers, employment services providers, higher education and training organisations work collaboratively to develop a local jobs plan and to design projects that skill people to meet the needs of local employers.
EV and Local Jobs

The Taskforce plays a central role leveraging existing programs and aligning efforts on the ground to ensure collaboration is maximised, duplication is minimised, and meaningful outcomes are achieved.
The Taskforce facilitate the design of projects that will address identified employment priorities and maximise the number of people moving into work.
