Leading workforce solutions company PeopleIN (PPE) has partnered with TAFE Queensland in an effort to curb critical labour shortages across Queensland.
The parties have entered a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to assess mutually beneficial opportunities to “bridge the gap” between education and jobs.
PeopleIN CEO Ross Thompson said it was the right fit to help address the cause for concern across the state of Queensland.
“The MoU allows us to deliver on our complete talent solutions offering in which upskilling our workforce and retaining talent are core priorities,” he said.
“Working with one of Australia’s largest VET providers and specialists in training in these areas means we’re perfectly placed to deliver skilled and experienced candidates where they’re needed most.”
Under the partnership, PeopleIN and TAFE Queensland will work together for an initial two-year period, promoting labour mobility and employment opportunities for TAFE Queensland’s domestic and AsiaPac international students and alumni. The partnership will also see TAFE QLD offer upskilling to PeopleIN’s 55,000 on-hire workforce.
The collaboration hopes to curb skill shortages in Australia, which have nearly doubled in the past year, with it providing a clear path to skilled employment in the critical sectors in which PeopleIN operates including healthcare, community services, childcare and the renewables sector.
PeopleIN shares were down 3.01 per cent to trade at $3.22 at 11:46 am AEDT.
