Youth Futures Project

The first stage of this project is about information gathering from local businesses on the Nagambie labour market and the potential opportunities for young people.

The key components of this stage are:

• Go Nagambie employer survey;

• Interviews with 6 key employers representing wine production, hospitality, equine, construction, resources and healthcare2

• A report providing the findings and recommendations from the above.

In July 2022, Go Nagambie sent out a Survey to all business members requesting response to twenty questions relating to their business, employment profile, young people employment and future employment needs. In total, 44 businesses responded3 across a range of industries, business sizes and locations.4 The survey respondents were located in Nagambie, Mitchellstown and Avenel regions in the Shire of Strathbogie; Seymour, Broadford, Tallarook in the Shire of Mitchell and Murchison.

For the purposes of this report, the survey catchment area will be called the Nagambie region and young people are between 15-25 years old.
