Mission Australia’s Beaudesert and Woodridge Employment Solutions centres in Queensland have successfully reached their goal of placing 500 jobseekers in long-term employment or training prior to Christmas 2009.
The final figures show more than 550 jobseekers benefited from the initiative which started in August 2009.
Mission Australia’s Employment Solutions helps jobseekers source quality jobs that match their capabilities and long-term goals.
The Job-A-Thon challenge was the brainchild of Mission Australia's Business Manager for Beaudesert and Woodridge, Bob Kennard, who said it was well received by clients and local employers alike.
“We received great support from local businesses – which helped make this initiative so successful,” said Bob.
“It was encouraging to know local employers and the local community were behind us 100 per cent. Our staff and clients are very grateful for this support.”
At the completion of the Job-A-Thon (24 December 2009), Mission Australia had successfully placed more than 320 jobseekers in training and more than 220 in long-term employment in the Beaudesert and Woodridge regions.
“We’re thrilled with the outcome of our Job-A-Thon, and are definitely looking to make it an annual event,” Bob said.
Mission Australia provides employment support through 93 offices around the country.
