Regional Employment Plans

The development and implementation of a Regional Employment Plan for each priority employment area is one of the key elements of the Australian Government’s Keep Australia Working initiative.

Developed by the Local Employment Coordinator, in consultation with their Keep Australia Working Advisory Committee, these plans draw on the expertise and ideas of those employers and community leaders who attended the Keep Australia Working forums across Australia in 2009.

The plans set out the employment priorities for the Local Employment Coordinator and Keep Australia Working Advisory Committee. They set goals and outline the strategies that will be used to meet those goals.

Local Employment Coordinators are now working with their committees to implement the strategies outlined in their Regional Employment Plans as a means of maximising the Nation Building– Economic Stimulus Plan, increasing skills and creating jobs and business opportunities for local people.
