*** Registration for the September Workforce Coalition Network Meeting is now open. ***
We are pleased to invite you to the September Workforce Coalition Network Meeting in Launceston and we hope you can join us. The project finishes in November 2024, so this will be the last network meeting run by our current project team.
We’d love you to come along, hear what has been achieved together and have your say about how to best access the work completed.
Our focus for the day will include:
- Celebrating achievements — we take a look back at the project, the inputs provided from industry, and achievements in each area.
- Recruitment and the Work with Purpose campaign — initiatives and discussions.
- Other project updates:
- Research with the University of Tasmania and Murdoch University — “Meet Your Workforce.”
- Building trainer and assessor capacity — bridging the gap, then to now.
- Training and development needs — advice and learnings, influencing future training and development.
- What’s next? — discussions on future network meetings and ongoing access to resources such as the Review your Workforce Tool and those on the Work with Purpose website.
- Networking opportunities.
The Workforce Coalition convenes a broad Workforce Coalition Network meeting twice a year. These meetings are open to all stakeholders who are responsible for attracting, recruiting, training and retaining staff in the community services industry.
Aged care, education and care, disability and social services providers face significant workforce challenges. Join the Workforce Coalition Network to be part of the solution and to address workforce challenges collectively.
The Workforce Coalition Network’s objective is to ensure the Workforce Coalition project is industry-led and that engagement occurs with relevant stakeholders at all levels. The project aims to build and share knowledge as well as inform decision-making. Together we will be stronger in influencing change, developing solutions, lifting our profile, building capacity and capabilities.
To receive regular updates about these meetings, ensure you’re registered to receive the Community Services Industry Plan (2021-31) newsletter by filling out the form here.
