Job seekers and businesses across various regions in NSW, including Central West, Hunter, North Coast, Far West Orana and Murray Riverina, can today access a range of new employment tools through VERTO as part of the Australian Government’s new Workforce Australia initiative.
Workforce Australia replaces the existing jobactive program from July 1, 2022, and brings together several programs, including Transition to Work (TtW) and Self-Assessment Assistance (SEA), to create a single and easy to access government employment service. These programs will help people find and keep a job, change jobs or start their own business, while connecting employers with job seekers.
VERTO Chief Executive Officer, Ron Maxwell, said the team is excited to play a role in the initiative and is looking forward to working with job seekers and employers across various regions in NSW.
“Workforce Australia will enable job seekers to self-manage through new, interactive digital services, while those with greater needs will be supported by experienced VERTO consultants.
“The initiative will equip Australians with the skills, training and resources needed to gain sustainable and satisfying employment and, in doing so, provide businesses and industries with the skills they need to thrive,” Mr Maxwell said.
Under the initiative, VERTO will work closely with employers and industry to develop practical solutions to industry-wide and local labour market challenges.
