Unlocking Opportunities: Connecting International Talent with Local Employers 🌏 🤝 🧳 Last week 50 talented international students and graduates from 19 diverse countries toured to Port Augusta to explore promising job avenues right here in our region. From health and engineering to teaching, their qualifications spanned a wide spectrum, with prospects of enriching our talent pool and fostering global expertise right at our doorstep. The StudyAdelaide Northern Regions Careers Tour - a collaboration between Port Augusta City Council, Local Jobs Program North West Country, and RDAFN, created a dynamic platform for graduates to connect with visionary local employers. The tour coincided with the Tactic Conference and Trade Expo in Port Augusta, showcasing an exciting glimpse into the expanding local jobs market. Recent research speaks volumes, with 68% of international students aspiring to stay and contribute in South Australia post their studies, with half of them eyeing the opportunities regional South Australia has to offer. With eager anticipation, we await the tales of success as these connections blossom into fulfilling career paths. 🌱🚀 Here's to a brighter and future, enriched by diversity and driven by ambition. #GlobalTalentLocalImpact #StudyAdelaideTourSuccess #LocalJobs StudyAdelaide, Port Augusta City Council, Regional Development Australia Far North

🚀 Exciting News to Share! 🌟 Upper Spencer Gulf Workforce Summit Success! 🤝 We're thrilled to share the amazing progress made during last week’s inaugural Upper Spencer Gulf Workforce Summit showcasing amazing collaboration across organisations: the working party (Uni Hib Spencer Gulf, Local Jobs North West Country & Mid North, RDA EP & YMN, Spencer Gulf Cities, TACTIC & The Resources and Engineering Skills Alliance) in collaboration with facilitator Geoff Deans from Modifying Factors. The energy and enthusiasm in the air were palpable as 100+ attendees, including industry leaders, government officials (local, state, and federal), and Mayors from all 3 regions, gathered to work together to maximise local people into available jobs in the project pipeline. Over the next 4 years, there are at least 24,000 expected job opportunities across 71 projects, with major initiatives spanning from Hydrogen, Renewables, and Mining. Summit attendees agreed to shared objectives identified through the workshop and the primary focus was crystal clear: to work collaboratively towards success. We heard this looks like having a unified point of contact to support shared outcomes, a common dataset, agreed-upon objectives, and a commitment to real time information-sharing. Among the crucial issues raised, is the need for a strong focus on the maintenance of existing workforces, foster skills and employment options for locals, and ensure adequate housing and childcare take centre stage. There was also a keen interest for a legacy of benefit for communities as we work together diligently addressing risk of impacts. The organising team are thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive response and the shared commitment to work together. Industry partners presenting at the TACTIC conference appreciated the scene setting delivered at the Workforce Summit, and TACTIC organisers have hinted it could become a key fixture in future conferences. Watch this space! The shared priorities, presentation slides, and contact lists are now in circulation, and the Working Party is gearing up to communicate the region's needs to key government representatives through Spencer Gulf Cities. Building on this momentum, discussions at the TACTIC conference emphasised the need to focus primarily on construction workforce skills, as this will be the driving force for monumental progress, with a huge number of roles on offer as projects gain momentum in our regions. Stay tuned for more updates on the Upper Spencer Gulf Workforce Summit actions and deliverables! 🌏👷🛠 #CollaborationInAction #WorkforceSummit #FutureForward #LocalJobs Regional Development Australia - Eyre Peninsula Regional Development Australia Yorke and Mid North RESA - Resources and Engineering Skills Alliance Workforce Australia - Local Jobs - Mid North SA Modifying Factors Uni Hub Spencer Gulf
