Recruitment Solutions
AUSTRALIA'S AGEING population will cause permanent labour shortages by 2010, making it even harder for HR managers to fill job vacancies in the future.
Unemployment in Australia is at a 33-year low, at a rate of 4.2%.
Severe labour shortages are already being felt in the Retail and Services Industry especially in skilled trades of Baking and Butchery. This trend will become more widespread over the next five years due to Australia's falling fertility rate and current immigration levels. This could lead to permanent shortages as the number of new people entering the workforce declines while the baby boomer cohort retires.
The NRA is assisting with fighting this crisis and is positioned to provide a variety of Recruitment and Personnel Solutions to the industry. Theses services complement the suite of training and staff development products available and include:
- Work Preparation courses
- Resume development services
- Interviewing workshops
- Labour Hire Solutions
Work Preparation Courses
Prior to the Labour shortage crisis, the NRA developed a range of pre-employment skills programs specifically designed to train and motivate various categories of job seekers to have current skills and knowledge to gain employment in the Retail Industry.
For the last five years, the NRA has been delivering these programs to priority population groups throughout Australia assisting job seekers to gain employment in the retail industry with an employment success rate averaging 73%. The NRA has built a reputation throughout its members, clients, Job Networks and State based Government networks as having a "World Class Practice" in delivering accredited pre-employment pathways for job seekers wishing to gain employment in the retail, hospitality, aged care and services sectors.
Over this time the NRA has been able to supplement labour needs of members and clients with trained staff to fill their employment vacancies with skilled workers. This reputation has platformed the NRA to have significant pre-employment pathways to suit any enterprise's specific skills needs.
Courses range from 3 days to 12 weeks in duration working with a range of demographics considering the current Labour shortage needs of retailers and service providers. With established and significant links with employers the NRA is able to provide a seamless transition for jobseekers into current vacancies. The projects have been successful with the assistance of:
