BUSY At Work is supporting a creative Work for the Dole (WFD) project in Sarina which will not only provide a major tourism boost for the local region but help participants learn new job skills.
BUSY At Work, Work for the Dole Coordinator for Mackay Employment Region, Kristy Gostelow said BUSY was working in partnership with non-profit welfare organisation, New Life Community Services in developing a new community website to highlight the wonderful attractions Sarina had to offer.
Kristy said the website was the brainchild of the Sarina Innovative Design Project team, a group of local residents participating in the Work for the Dole Program – Career Advancement Program.
“The team meet weekly to fulfill their WFD requirements under the new jobactive scheme. As part of their project activities, the team brainstormed issues that they felt were contributing to the unemployment rate in the region.”
