Creating a Young People Employment Campaign

Develop “Your Job’s Here’ Campaign!” for local young people and parents. A medium term strategy would involve Go Nagambie and RIYAP in:

1. Identifying opportunities and marketing to attract young people to the Nagambie region –either to work and/or live in the region.

2. Developing “Your Job’s Here!’ targeted campaign for Year 10-12 students and parents highlighting careers, types of jobs, skill requirements in Nagambie.

3. Leaving school with generalist skills and how to access jobs that provide on the job skill development, training and short courses and mentoring.

4. Acquiring technical skills and tertiary training –university, college/TAFE for winemaking, equine management, agriculture, project management, business, accountancy and marketing,

5. RIYAP collaborates with schools to foster local opportunities and how to gain jobs – schools ensuring school leavers have the ability and are suitable for local jobs.

6. Developing video case studies of success – former students employed locally, at university or returning to community and multigenerational family employment.

7. Promoting linking of employers to students –jobs showcase in Nagambie, who is employing and what jobs and conversations between employers.

Seeking additional resources – harness the potential

1. To facilitate the Young People Jobs Map and Campaign, Go Nagambie will require additional funding and resources to undertake coordination and delivery over the medium term. The key to success will be specific responsibility and coordination with Federal and Victorian Government (infrastructure, education and training, social services, housing), local employment services; young people, sporting and recreation clubs/ groups; local community and regional groups and communities (Shepparton, Euroa, Seymour, Kilmore), universities and other central Victoria Shire Councils.
