The one-stop-shop has featured more than 600 gold jobs from 19 gold companies, reaching more than 200 000 people across Australia. Its “get into gold” insights, including employment programs and pathways, has been popular with new and potential jobs seekers including students seeking out the resource.
GIG Chair Kelly Carter said the initiative had been a great success in its first year.
“This has been a ground-breaking resource for the gold industry to connect with the wider community and attract a new talent pipeline.
“It showcases the diverse opportunities in Australia’s gold industry through the roles advertised and the rich content it provides, appealing to jobs seekers from all backgrounds,” Ms Carter said.
“The year ahead will see our jobs advertised grow and new content on job roles go live.”
The first stage of roles in gold has been launched, featuring information on the range of roles in gold.
