About us

The Workforce Australia Local Jobs Program (LJP) is a coordinated response aimed at addressing the workforce needs of employers across the Central West Employment Region. The LJP Employment Facilitator plays a crucial role in bringing together local market intelligence, resources, and strategy to ensure that the objectives of the Local Jobs Plan are met. To achieve its goals, the program collaborates with various local stakeholders and delivers projects such as pre-employment training to meet the needs of employers and job seekers. Priority is given to meeting the needs of local employers who are essential to the success of the LJP. Managed by Skillset, the LJP program covers 11 local government areas, including Bathurst, Orange, Lithgow, Mudgee, Parkes, and Forbes. Through collaboration with local stakeholders, the program delivers pre-employment training and projects tailored to meet the specific needs of job seekers and employers in the region. The LJP program aims to provide local employers with the necessary skills to thrive and contribute to the growth and prosperity of the Central West Employment Region.
