Abstract

The project will conduct a quick but comprehensive environmental scan of employers in Melbourne’s North West region, with a focus on identified sectors that provide essential products and services in the current environment, to determine the number and range of occupations where there is urgent demand. It will then facilitate the listing of these positions on key job sites such as MNJoblink, Australian Government’s Jobs Hub and Working for Victoria, to provide opportunities for the multiples of people that have ceased employment or have been stood down as a result of Covid â€" 19.
