25.01.2022 Kyogle Council is taking direct action when it comes to getting young people into jobs. The Council has teamed up with Local Government Group Training (LGGT) to... offer six apprenticeships and two traineeships in the areas of bridge and road construction and water operations. And in a move designed to help young people stay in their home towns, three of the positions will be based in Bonalbo and Woodenbong. Our young people are our future leaders, Kyogle Council Mayor Cr Danielle Mulholland said. As one of the biggest employers in our local government area, Council believes it has a responsibility to give our youth the opportunity train and work in the communities they live. Recruiting apprentices and trainees will also help Council address issues with its aging workforce nearing retirement and ensure we have the skills needed to provide critical services to the community into the future. Six apprenticeships are on offer three in bridge construction and three in civil construction (road construction) as well as two traineeships in water operations. Two of the three bridge construction apprenticeships will be based at Kyogle, while the third will be based a Woodenbong. Similarly, two of the three civil construction apprenticeships will be based at Kyogle, while the third will be based at Bonalbo. One of the two water operations traineeships will be based at Kyogle and the second will be based at either Bonalbo or Woodenbong. LGGT’s Local Government Operations Manager Blair Collis said recruiting for the eight positions had begun and encouraged young people interested in the positions to apply. All successful applicants would gain valuable on-the-job training and complete a nationally recognised qualification, Mr Collis said. For more information or to apply for a position, applicants can visit LGGT’s parent company website at www.novaskill.com.au or call 02 6600 3000. Applications will close around the middle of October with the review of applications and interviewing to complete by early November. It is a pleasure to partner with Kyogle Council on such an important initiative to grow employment opportunities for youth in the LGA while addressing future workforce capacity within Council, Mr Collis said.

25.01.2022 We love studies like this because it confirms what we are about. We believe school-delivered VET programs do provide a head-start - even more when it comes to getting a job or finding your pathway. And, last but not least, to earning good money.

21.01.2022 If the ever-more smart machines take away the routine jobs then all we need to do is make sure we have the transferable skills to find more creative, collaborat...ive and exciting roles - preparation is going to be key. Although we suspect there will always be all sorts of roles - from the mundane to the exciting! See more

19.01.2022 Resilience matters. Resilience strategies and skills can be taught. Resilience is an inside job. ROC + RISE shares the HOW.

18.01.2022 When I was 12, my nickname was ‘Little Giraffe’ due to my height. I just wanted to blend in with other girls my age. Playing netball made me realise that wha...t bought me unwanted attention was actually a huge advantage on the court. Thanks to Suncorp, watch my PlayersVoice story.

10.01.2022 A good summary of what a school-based apprenticeship is. Are you interested in school based apprenticeships, would you like your school to take part in school-based apprenticeship programs? Get in touch with us for more information about the programmes we offer.

08.01.2022 When we are not happy in our jobs other areas of our lives suffer. When we don't give students and parents the full picture how can they make an informed decisi...on? Are students being pushed into jobs that society think are impressive, will earn the most praise, rewards, salary? We need to do better by young people in Australia and start providing all of the information and opportunities to ALL students. See more
