Getting the right skills for Territory businesses

Territory employers have an opportunity to promote their hard-to-fill job vacancies at upcoming migration expos in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Attracting skilled workers is vital to the Territory's future with major projects set to transform the Territory economy and bring huge demand for skilled labour.

While the Territory is training its own skilled workers at the fastest rate in the country, it is still not enough to meet demand, especially with competition from the fellow boom economies of Queensland and WA.

Migration expos put Territory businesses directly in touch with potential employees, providing certainty to businesses worried they will lose staff to major projects.

Local businesses will have opportunities to promote their jobs at the Skills Australia Needs Expo in London (25-27 February), the Australian States Expo in Manchester (29 February) and the Working Abroad Expo in Dublin (3-4 March).

Employers can take part by attending the expos or having your current and predicted vacancies displayed at the NT Government stand at each expo.

The jobs can either be current, or a call for registrations of interest from people with a specific skill set. All vacancies will be displayed at each event.

This scheme is part of the Territory Government’s program to assist industry and business with labour force demands.
