Monthly Chamber Breakfast: Wednesday, 11th September – Eleanor Crosby

This month we have the exciting opportunity to hear from Eleanor Crosby an Industry Workforce Advisor.

The State Government has committed to increasing the size, skills, and adaptability of the state’s workforce through the Workforce Strategy.

As part of the Strategy, the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT) have funded Industry Workforce Advisor positions across nine sectors including Health, Community Services, First Nations health care and social assistance, Tourism hospitality and events, Electrotechnology and utilities, Automotive, Business and ICT (Information, Communication Technology), Retail and Personal Services and Transport and Logistics.

Eleanor has been self-employed so understands the challenges and pain points that businesses face. She has a strong business and finance background spanning 20 years. Her focus is to engage with businesses on all levels to develop effective relationships with all stakeholders to achieve results.

“Many businesses are facing growing challenges with workforce planning and finding that what they have always done just isn’t working now and would benefit from assistance in navigating the support that is available to them. There are many government initiatives that are out there, and it is our job to help connect them. The workforce planning tools that are available through Jobs Queensland are simple to use and can assist business to grow and work proactively on their recruitment needs.”
