On 27 September I had the pleasure of representing the Minister for Skills and Workforce Participation at the announcement of a $150 000 project to address shortfalls in skills and workforce development in the south-west. The Brumby Labor government has funded the great south coast industry workforce development strategy team to investigate and address the labour supply and workforce development needs across the region. By addressing these issues our government is ensuring that people in regional Victoria can identify employment opportunities and that local industry has skilled staff to sustain economic growth. This new stage of funding will assist in attracting and retaining local people by matching skills with local jobs.
