A joint initiative between three state governments, local government, the Australian government, industry & community.
Join local industry, services, businesses and government from across the Murray Mallee border region to discuss future workforce needs.
Incorporating 13 local government areas, far southwest NSW, northwest Victoria and northeast South Australia are on the cusp of large-scale investment from mineral sands mining, renewable energy and irrigated horticulture. The Cross-border Future Industry Workforce Forum will convene key leaders and decision-makers to develop a shared solutions-focussed approach for shaping, building and sustaining a skilled local workforce now and into the future.
A shared approach to growing a skilled local workforce is key to realising the greatest economic benefit for communities and industry, ensuring strong, sustainable cross-border communities. Importantly, a growing local workforce will provide industry with confidence to continue to reinvest long term in the region.
The Cross-Border Future Workforce Forum is a solutions-focussed, consultative event with participants asked to come prepared to collaborate and to make commitments for change. The event is aimed at CEOs, senior level human resource and operational professionals and community liaison delegates. Numbers are strictly limited.
