IDEAL Placements has successfully launched their Women in Warehousing project funded by Qld Government Skilling Queenslanders for Work initiative. The project recognises both the demand for workers in the warehousing industry and the willingness of employers to hire women. It will provide training opportunities to any unemployed or under-employed women in the community who are interested in pursuing a career in warehousing.
Participants in the project will receive comprehensive training including face-to-face Cert III Accredited Training with a Registered Training Organisation, White Card, First Aid, Forklift ticket, and a high-risk license. To complement the technical training, counselling sessions, industry placement, and relevant information sessions will be provided to enhance participants' employability, resilience and personal development.
To be eligible for the program participants must commit to a 16-week schedule, attend four days per week from April 15, 2024. Notably, registration with a Workforce Australia provider is not a requirement which makes this great opportunity accessible to a wider pool of candidates.
There is no cost involved. Participants are offered the best opportunity to gain skills and certifications that may otherwise be financially out of reach. IDEAL Placements will actively seek employment opportunities for participants before the completion of the project and offer ongoing support to ensure successful placements.
IDEAL Placements says, “This is a great opportunity for women who require skills to meet the needs of the industry.”
“The transferable skills gained, plus on the job coaching, will allow participants to be very competitive in the job market. Don’t be deterred. If you are working no more than 20 hours a week or have an employed partner, this great opportunity is still available to you”.
“We are also happy to discuss the project with any interested employers who may want a bit more information. Thank you to those who have already made a commitment”.
Interested employers are encouraged to reach out to IDEAL Placements for more information about the project and potential placements.
Individuals who are ready to begin a new journey and believe they are a committed candidate for the Women in Warehousing project should contact IDEAL Placements on 49578177 to schedule an appointment with Jeanette.
