PRESS RELEASE: Addressing staff shortages in Queanbeyan-Palerang

Latest Press Release

The Capital Region Local Jobs Program, in partnership with Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council, has launched a hiring campaign to recruit workers into roles across the Queanbeyan-Palerang region. The “Queanbeyan-Palerang Is Hiring” campaign runs to the end of June 2023, and will give businesses the opportunity to promote the positions they need filled, with the Local Jobs Program matching jobseekers into those roles.

“Staff shortages is a significant challenge for many businesses right now” said Marcus Caldwell, Employment Facilitator for the Capital Region. “The Queanbeyan-Palerang Is Hiring Campaign aims to ease some of the pressure on businesses by better connecting jobseekers into these available jobs”.

Businesses that need staff are asked to visit the campaign website https://capital-is-hiring.myjboard.io/ to pledge the jobs they need filled. The Team at the Local Jobs Program will then work with employment service providers, as well as The Hiring List to match jobseekers into these roles. All pledged jobs will also be posted to the jobs board of the campaign website and promoted heavily across the region.

The campaign is also encouraging jobseekers to consider a career in sectors such as construction, hospitality and community services, where workforce shortages are greatest.
“Construction, hospitality and community services are booming sectors with enormous opportunity to learn new skills and secure solid employment” said Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council’s Economic Development and Tourism Manager, Ryan Deebank. “If you’re a jobseeker, student, or existing worker looking for extra hours, you should seriously consider a job or career in these sectors”.

If you’re looking for work, you should register your details on The Hiring List (https://thehiringlist.com.au/) to ensure the Local Jobs Program team can match you into a role. You can also view the jobs that have been pledged on the campaign website – https://capital-is-hiring.myjboard.io/.
