Local Jobs and Skills Taskforces meet regularly to develop a shared understanding of their region. They develop solutions to help more Australians connect with quality job opportunities, improve their skills and assist employers to meet their labour and skills needs.
Taskforces play a central role in connecting, coordinating and leveraging existing programs and aligning efforts on the ground to ensure collaboration is maximised, duplication is minimised, and outcomes are achieved.
Taskforces work with the Employment Facilitator to develop and implement a Local Jobs Plan for their region. The plan identifies key employment and training priorities and provides a framework for how to assist individuals and employers.
