Indigenous job connections, as an equal partner in Employment Services Queensland, has successfully tendered for 10 of 20 job network employment service areas in Queensland.
CEO Chris Martin said the four ESQ directors felt humble to be given the responsibility of primary employment service provider for at least 10,000 Queenslanders.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for Indigenous Job Connections to share expertise and resources with our business partners, expanding the services and expertise available to our clients over time", he said. "This is a new business unit and income stream for our operation to manage for the improvement of our client's lives".
Employment Services Queensland will trade as Employment Services Queensland and is a partnership between career employment Australia Inc, challenge employment and training, skill centred Queensland Inc and Cairns Regional CDEP (trading as Indigenous Job Connections). All the partners are not for profit organisations reinvesting all funds
back into their programs.
The four organisations share 88 years service experience assisting disadvantaged and marginalised job seekers. Chris said the tender results reflect Indigenous Job Connections long term success in provision of quality programs and services for job seekers and its community-focussed commitment to the more disadvantaged.
Employment Services Queensland has been selected to provide a full rang of services in Capricornia, Bundaberg, Gympie, Sunshine Coast, outer North Brisbane, South Brisbane, Ipswich, Toowoomba and Western Downs. It will also provide specialist ex-offender services in Logan and South Brisbane.
"I am confident the four partners will look at other joint business opportunities together",
Chris expanded.
"As we write this newsletter I am waiting for the results of the CDEP tender for remote areas", he said. "I hope we are recognised for our past success in these areas, but whatever is decided Indigenous Job Connections will continue to diversify and provide employment services".
"We have been working toward a broader service provision since 2006, knowing that CDEP had a finite life span." "It is an exciting and challenging time".
