Call Out To All Job Seekers - Employment Expo Is Back

For the third-year running, our hugely successful Employment Expo is returning this September, to assist the Baw Baw community to discover local employment opportunities. Job seekers will have the chance to explore current vacancies, network with hiring employers, as well as access advice from training providers. Local businesses can also showcase their services at this free community event, helping to raise their profile and connect with potential future employees. Job seekers can gain valuable insights into their industry and the skills, qualifications, and experience needed to pursue a career in the sector. There will also be free resume and key selection criteria writing support available on the day. Baw Baw Shire Mayor Councillor Kate Wilson is excited to see what the Expo has on offer this year. "For the past two years, the Employment Expo has provided our community with a fantastic in-person opportunity to connect hiring employers with job seekers, removing some of the barriers that recruitment processes often face in the digital age". "With the launch of the Gippsland Jobs Hub last year (a free platform for employers to advertise local employment opportunities), the Expo is a great way for users of the Hub to meet each other face-to-face and establish more tangible connections." When: 10am-1pm Wednesday 30 September 2026 Where: Fountain Room, West Gippsland Arts Centre There will be 100 free coffee vouchers up for grabs on the day, and a free sausage sizzle as well. The Baw Baw Employment Expo was made possible thanks to the support of Workforce Australia and Jobs Skill Centre.
