Brimbank council is calling on all jobseekers as it prepares to host a range of events to mark National Careers Week in May.
National Careers Week will run from Monday, May 13, to Sunday, May 19, with jobseekers encouraged to turn up and get the tools and confidence they need to find the job they’re after.
The main event for the week is the Brimbank Local Jobs Showcase, where council will work to match local people with local jobs on the spot.
The Brimbank Local Jobs Showcase will be held on Wednesday, May 15, from 2-6pm at Brimbank Learning Futures (Visy Cares Hub), 80b Harvester Road, Sunshine.
Attendees can discover local employment opportunities, meet employers and business owners and kick-start their journey to success.
Brimbank mayor Ranka Rasic said the events and activities during National Careers Week across Brimbank are designed to help locals find employment.
“Employment is essential for good life outcomes and Brimbank council is committed to help people in our community find and secure meaningful work,” Cr Rasic said.
“This year we have a new event which links local jobs with local people, including businesses like Civik People, a social enterprise focus on creating jobs for refugees and humanitarian migrants, and JBS Australia- one of the largest manufacturers in Brimbank, and Home Instead are looking to recruit people into paid carer giver roles.
“Brimbank has one of Melbourne’s highest jobless rates, which is why council is focused on building pathways to employment with jobs right here in our city. So, if you’re looking for work or looking for workers, please reach out and come along to some of our events during National Careers Week.”
The week will involve a range of free jobseeker events including, ‘Setting Yourself Up For Success’, ‘Resume Help’, ‘Success Lab: Youth Interview Skills Workshop’, ‘Responsible Service of Alcohol Course’, ‘Intersectional Human Library’, and ‘Young Makers Cricut Build and Bond’.
