Employment and Training Programs - Murraylands
The Murraylands South Australia Works Network recognises the need for a highly-skilled workforce to meet the needs of our changing economy and labour market. The Network draws on knowledge of changing trends in regions and their impact on industry demand for labour and skills. Through our partnerships we have a shared knowledge of state and regional industry workforce planning needs. This knowledge is the basis for priorities and actions identified in the Murraylands strategic and action plan 2011-14.
The Murraylands South Australia Works Network is supported by key members that represent target groups identified as a priority area within this plan and the Murraylands region.
The Murraylands will hold 3 strategic forums this financial year (2011-12) to gather local intelligence, discuss regional issues and opportunities that will underpin the development of the South Australia Works strategic plan and action plans. There will be community engagement and strong links to other regional and state networks.
Through the Network’s continued investment in the regions workforce participation needs our community can build the foundations for the Murraylands to enjoy social and economic prosperity.
A key strength of the Murraylands is its strong partnerships and the ability to work collaboratively across sectors to achieve the best results to address skills shortages in the region. These partnerships provide the region with the capacity to address the following three priorities:
PRIORITY 1: Ensure that people with low educational attainment have access to learning, training and employment pathways
PRIORITY 2: Assist individuals who are marginalised in the labour market to transition to sustainable learning, training and employment pathways
PRIORITY 3: Increase workforce participation through taking advantage of regional opportunities for economic growth
