Over 800 jobs gained from Dandenong Jobs Expo
The most successful Keep Australia Working Jobs Expo so far was recently held at Dandenong, with 800 jobseekers getting a job.
Mark Dreyfus congratulated all the jobseekers who found employment at the Expo.
“Unemployment in Dandenong is currently 10.8 per cent, more than double the national average of 5.3 per cent. That is why this Jobs Expo was so important,” Mark Dreyfus said.
“The action we have taken means about 800 people who were out of work now have a job.”
More than 120 exhibitors will took part in the Expo – including major local employers and training companies.
Some of the businesses and organisations who filled positions as a result of the Jobs Expo are:
- Kelly services filling 30 positions;
- Sarina Russo filling 25 positions
- Myer filling 16 customer service positions;
- Ventura Bus Lines hired 5 bus drivers;
- Jayco will fill 7 positions
- Southern Cross Care will fill 8 positions.
