JobExplore Industry Pathways

The project targeted the following Employment Regions and industries between September 2023 and September 2024:

• New England and North West (Health Care and Social Assistance industry)
• Mid North Coast (Construction industry)
• Sydney North and West (Accommodation and Food Services industry).

In each of these regions, the JobExplore project featured 3 key deliverables:

1. You Can’t Ask That – an employer, service provider and industry stakeholder event to share best practices around attraction, recruitment and retention, and source local job vacancies.
2. Virtual Work Immersion Program – a custom-built online training course for participants that replicates real-life tasks based on industry needs.
3. Ask That! – an employer, participant and provider event that showcases available vacancies in the industry and provides participants with opportunities to ask questions and attend interviews with local employers.

As part of the project, participants were offered employment and up to 4 weeks of post placement support. The Finer Line will also be developing a digital Playbook that comprehensively documents how other organisations can independently host their own JobExplore Industry Pathway.

The Finer Line has developed a digital Playbook that comprehensively documents how other organisations can independently host their own JobExplore Industry Pathway. This Playbook will be hosted at JobExplore until 30 June 2025.
