📢 We’re very excited to share that the Local Jobs Program has been extended! 📢 Senator the Hon Murray Watt, Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations last Friday announced the extension of the Local Jobs Program through to 30 June 2027. The extension reflects the Australian Government’s commitment to place-based approaches and continues to evolve the program as part of the next phase of Employment Services Reform. The Local Jobs program was originally funded to 30 June 2025 and this announcement ensures we can maintain momentum and also set our sights on what we can achieve together for the Mid North region for the next two and a half years. Local Jobs is all about working together and strengthening our collective efforts in addressing regional employment needs. We are extremely grateful for the contributions, passion and leadership from our Local Jobs and Skills Taskforce, Jobs and Skills Networks, Employment Service Providers and the many other organisations and people we have worked alongside. We look forward to continuing to work with you. A huge thanks to the Australian Government and Department of Employment and Workplace Relations for your continued support and investment in our region and for place-based approaches. 🔗🌱🔎

🎉 Celebrating Success in Port Pirie! 🎓 Graduations are always a special moment, but last week’s SkillUp for Service in Regional SA graduation at the Parham Centre, Port Pirie, was truly something to remember. Over 13 weeks, participants worked hard, grew together, and achieved something incredible—and we couldn’t be prouder! This program isn’t just about learning new skills; it’s about the journey. With the unwavering support of the SkillUp team of Sachin and Graham, participants not only gained valuable knowledge for the service industry but also built confidence, overcame challenges, and formed strong bonds along the way. And those achievements and the bonds formed between participants and the trainers was clear to see at the graduation. The Local Jobs program was grateful to attend the graduation and support SkillUp bringing this program to Port Pirie. Supported by the South Australian Government, programs like this make a real difference by empowering people with skills that open doors to new opportunities. Congratulations to SkillUp and to the graduates—you’ve shown resilience, determination, and heart. The future is yours, and we can’t wait to see what you do next! 💪
