Community Employment Program

Real People, Real Jobs

Mildura Rural City Council’s Community Employment Program is here to assist unemployed Victorians, to overcome their barriers to finding sustainable employment.

We can assist in many different aspects, as each person comes with different barriers. We assist each person on an individualised basis and not a one size fits all approach.

What we can do for you

We will work with you and provide specific support for you to address your needs for ongoing employment. This may be done through referrals to external services, such as counselling or assistance, writing a resume or job application. We can also assist people who may require literacy and numeracy support.

We will help you fill in the gaps to finding or sustaining work including;

Education and Training
Industry specific Licensing
Assistance with uniforms and Post Placement Support

We will create a personal marketing plan to ensure that we place you in work that you really want to do, rather than just referring you for a job.

How we work
