Why Opportunity Wyndham?
With 58% of the population under 35 and home to people from over 162 countries, Wyndham is young, culturally diverse and growing faster than any other LGA, providing a wealth of opportunities.
Population growth, new infrastructure and inbound investment make Wyndham an exciting place to be. However, more can be done to ensure that the benefits of economic recovery from COVID-19 and growth are felt positively across the community. Access to local jobs and work placements is an important element of being connected to community.
Connected to business, community, service providers and government, the Opportunity Wyndham partnership is uniquely situated to help generate local job opportunities and ensure local people are connected to businesses in need of staff. Through our free recruitment service, businesses can connect to over 40,000 candidates supported by the partnership, and receive wrap around support for candidates placed through the service.
The partnership also provides resources, tools and support to business and the community in the form of Inclusive Industry toolkits, job readiness programs, workshops, events and networking opportunities.
