Jobs board to launch in the Lockyer Valley

Local businesses will soon have the opportunity to see how the Local Jobs Board could benefit them when the initiative is launched next month.

Council will host a launch demonstrating the use of Ipswich West Moreton (IWM Jobs) and its role in showcasing local jobs for local people.

Council's Mayor Tanya Milligan said the program would mean a single point of access to all online jobs advertised in the region.

And this is great news for the Lockyer Valley, Mayor Milligan said.

IWM Jobs is a tool that will allow local employers to connect with local staff and ultimately, for job seekers to find local jobs.

As a Council, this is something that we're proud to be involved in.

Boosting employment opportunities for individuals and communities across the region is vital and it's something I, and my fellow Councillors fully support.

The launch will offer attendees the opportunity to witness a comprehensive demonstration of the Jobs Board Website, www.iwmjobs.com.au

With a simple touch of a button, employers can learn more about their job candidates, which is a powerful tool, Mayor Milligan said.
