07.01.2022 What do you need right now? From Govt, from local leadership, from other businesses, from your employer, colleagues or community organisations. What do you need? Thats the question we kicked off the first of CYCs Economic Stimulus & Recovery Focus Groups with last night. Over the next hour we covered some serious territory! We talked about grants and funding, accessibility to local leadership, connectivity and working from home, education, upskilling, jobs, career paths, r...egional scholarships, bringing students north for study, retaining added Govt capacity after COVID, side gigs, B2B marketplaces for young entrepreneurs, targeted programs for local businesses to skill-up and win more local work, more help for young people to get onto the property ladder, and combatting the hole in our tourism and hospitality workforce that emerges when our economy is slower to recover and young people move south for jobs. It was fast-paced, invigorating and highly tactical to driving improved post-COVID outcomes for our 18 - 35yr olds in FNQ. We have one spot remaining in each of tonights session and Wednesday nights session. If youd like to be involved, send us a DM! Or if you cant pariticapte, tell us in the comments... what do you need right now?!.
