The Right Staff is an employment information evening hosted by Workforce Australia Local Jobs South West, designed to support businesses in uncovering new talent through creative recruitment strategies and by tapping into the latent workforce, ie. potential employees who are currently not active in the labour market due to barriers such as disability, former incarceration, or lack of traditional pathways.
This free event will feature a Creative Recruitment Workshop, real-world case studies, and a practical workbook to help employers implement innovative approaches to hiring. The workshop will guide participants through designing pre-employment strategies that expand access to overlooked but capable talent pools.
A key theme is accessing the latest workforce, not just those actively applying for jobs, but those who could thrive with the right support. Attendees will connect with Workforce Australia providers (including APM, Max Employment, and Training Alliance Group), Disability Employment Services (such as Forrest Personnel and APM), and other programs including Apprenticeship Connect and the Prisoner Employment Program. These providers will be available as stallholders, offering tailored information and resources to support employers in engaging with diverse job seekers.
3:00pm to 4:00pm - Workforce Australia Local Jobs will give a presentation on labour market data, existing programs to help you access the latent workforce and upskilling your future workforce.
4:00pm to 4:30pm - Your chance to meet the faces in the employment space as you mingle with stallholders who have a pool of people who may want to work for your business!
4:30pm to 7:00pm - A workshop on Creative Recruitment on how to design a creative pre-employment or recruitment strategy with case studies
As workforce shortages continue to impact regional business growth, this event is an important opportunity to build inclusive hiring pipelines and unlock new employee potential in the South West.
