Aboriginal jobs and careers expo to attract 1000 attendees in Rockingham

PIC: WA Government

Aboriginal people looking for employment or training are encouraged to attend the Deadly Jobs Expo in Rockingham on October 20.

Delivered in partnership between the State Government and South Metropolitan TAFE, the Expo will bring together employers, training providers and support services, making it easy to discover career pathways, meet employers and access practical advice.

Around 1000 people are expected to attend, with more than 70 exhibitors showcasing employment, apprenticeship, traineeship and training opportunities.

The expo comes as major investment across Rockingham, Kwinana and the Peel region continues to create demand for skilled workers in defence, manufacturing, construction, health, logistics and clean energy.

By 2035, WA is expected to need 145,000 additional workers across the key industries of building and construction, care, clean energy, tourism and hospitality, defence and advanced manufacturing.

Many employers will be actively recruiting on the day, with opportunities for attendees to discuss their skills and experience directly with employers.

Jobseekers are encouraged to bring an up-to-date resume.

The Deadly Jobs Expo will be held from 9am to 2.30pm on Tuesday, 20 October at the Kadadjiny Mia Aboriginal Learning Centre (J Block), at South Metropolitan TAFE's Rockingham campus on Simpson Avenue.
