Specific Details
One point of contact for Employment Incentives, Apprenticeships, and Internships. Requesting one point of contact for businesses in relation to help with employment incentives, internships, support with training & apprenticeships, also to find staff, matching people on the love register/ or benefits to positions available. Currently there is overwhelm and confusion as there are so many organisations involved.
Intended results
Currently a quagmire exists in relation to employment incentives, internships, apprenticeships, and in relation to job seeker supports. There is overlap between offerings and the offerings are difficult to navigate. A simplified image of offerings with one point of contact who can direct employers to the most appropriate organisation/ agency/ resource would make a more meaningful impact.
