Wollondilly Council
Wollondilly Council will partner with My Gateway to deliver a Local Skills Ready Program funded through Stage Two of the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund.
The State and Federal Governments have committed $981,727 of bushfire recovery funding to the Local Skills Ready Program; a welcome boost to the Wollondilly community as it recovers from the impacts of the recent bushfires as well as floods and Covid-19.
The program will achieve a number of positive outcomes including reducing unemployment, creating local jobs, offering immediate economic stimulus and fast-tracking shovel ready infrastructure programs.
It will provide 15 locals with employment within Council where they can achieve qualifications as well as practical paid work experience.
