Have your say on the future of employment in the Territory!

The Northern Territory Government is seeking feedback from Territorians to ensure the new Employment Strategy for 2012 to 2015 aligns with the Territory’s needs.

The Northern Territory is entering an exciting time on the job and business opportunity front. The Employment Strategy 2012-2015 aims to ensure the Territory is ready to meet the challenges this presents and the Employment Strategy Discussion Starter is the first step.

To help initiate the conversation, the discussion starter includes five focus areas: workforce planning and development, skilling the workforce, Indigenous employment participation, migration, and business and industry support.
