"The aim of the campaign is to stimulate the local jobs market and increase sign ups of apprenticeships and traineeships in our area", says VERTO area manager, Gabby Barlow.
"Any new position created, part-time or full-time, can be linked with subsidised, on-the-job training giving a jobseeker, not just a job but an ongoing education and career path and give an employer a wide range of support and ongoing benefits".
Local service providers gathered at the Bean Bar Cafe , Taree, where VERTO CEO, Ron Maxwell, officially launched the VERTO 101 campaign to service providers.
"We're striving to change lives by connecting people with job opportunities and Australian apprenticeships during the next 101 days," he explained.
