Peak Forum One - Employment, Education and Training
Forum One - Employment, Training and Education
BIEDO's first ever "Peak Solutions Focused Forum" was held on Wednesday 1st December at the Kingaroy TAFE campus. The topic was Employment, Training and Education in the Inland Burnett and offered:
- Speakers with practical insight and experience in creating solutions that WORK!
- Q&A with the speakers and other Forum attendees
- Action focussed discussion groups, turning ideas into practical 'how tos'
Why?
To find solutions, from school to retirement, that help build the skills of local people and attract skilled, motivated people to our region
A great result
More than 60 people representing government, non-government, industry and community attended the full day workshop to devise key actions for the Inland Burnett community. Guest speakers included Robyn Mapp of Chinchilla who discussed ways to welcome new families to our towns and how to draw energy company funding back into our community. Gavin Walton of Condamine Electrical Company shared his insights into attracting and retaining great employees and Richard Cowley gave an overview of his business “The Brolga Project” which helps attract university students to the bush to take up professional positions.
BIEDO CEO, Linda Silburn says the day was a great success, providing a diverse group of the people with the chance to network and discuss new ways of increasing employment, training and education in our region.
"Our speakers were able to give some really practical insights and share their experience when it comes to creating employment and training solutions that work,” Linda said.
“Our goal is to have “Action this Day”, where real actions and solutions are generated by agencies and key groups and we can start seeing real outcomes for our community,” she said
