Job seekers looking for roles in East Gippsland will be able to learn about a range of vacancies at local businesses at the Bairnsdale Jobs Expo later this month.

The event is designed to connect local businesses with jobseekers, helping to fill current vacancies and foster future employment opportunities.

Hosted by East Gippsland Shire Council, the expo will be held on Wednesday 28 August from 9.30 am to 2.30 pm at Cremin Hall, 38 Pyke Street, Bairnsdale.

Council is deeply invested in creating conditions for communities to thrive. The Expo shows Council’s commitment to job creation and economic development and aligns with its Economic Development Strategy 2022-2032, which focuses on fostering business growth and creating economic opportunities for future generations.

For participating businesses, the Expo offers a valuable chance to showcase their services, discuss job vacancies and engage directly with potential employees. Employers with multiple job openings are encouraged to register to exhibit, while a jobs board will be available for those who cannot attend.

Jobseekers will have the opportunity to explore career openings, apprenticeships and local job prospects. Jobseekers do not need to register to attend – just come along with a resume and an open mind.

“We collaborate with partners like Workforce Australia Local Jobs Program, East Gippsland Marketing Inc. and Skills and Jobs Centres to strengthen education and training pathways. This ensures that businesses can access the skills they need, and residents can find meaningful employment,” Mayor Cr Tom Crook.

Head to the Bairnsdale Jobs Expo to explore how we are working together to build a vibrant and prosperous community.
