Vic hotel boost

THE Victorian Government announced a new $5.6 million Jobs Victoria initiative to support the tourism and hospitality industry to create 320 roles, offering paid training and a minimum 12 months of secure employment to job seekers.

In partnership with the Accommodation Association of Australia (AAOA), Jobs Victoria will create housekeeping, food & beverage preparation, events and other accommodation services roles across Melbourne and regional Victoria, prioritising groups that are traditionally more vulnerable to unemployment.
