The Victorian Government’s Jobs Victoria initiative provides additional resources to engage with employers and disadvantaged jobseekers to get more Victorians into long-term work.
west@work is contracted by the Victorian Government to deliver additional employment services to both employers and jobseekers as part of Jobs Victoria.
west@work is a partnership between two trusted community service, education and training providers in Melbourne’s West. Partner organisations Westgate Community Initiatives Group Inc. and Djerriwarrh Community & Education Services have over 100 years combined experience in serving and enriching our local communities in the West.
