Redlands Coast – Skills Interests Survey - for Redlands Business

The Redlands Regional Jobs Committee want to hear from Redlands industry including business owners, business operators,  HR and training managers.  Please tell us what skilling and training you would like to offer your current staff plus what skilled workers you envisage you will be looking to hire within the next 5 years. Note: we have a separate survey for community members interested in enroling in training and skilling including job seekers and students! Visit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/8ZQKH6C

What you share here will help us to understand what our Redlands community want and need when it comes to training and skilling. We will then broker training and skilling opportunities to our Redlands Coast Region that: 
(a) aligns with community training and skilling enrolment interests and
(b) links to industry/employers up-coming skilled job availabilities and needs here in the Redlands. 
 
This twofold approach will ensure we are focusing our skilling and training efforts in the Redlands on training solutions that our community really want to complete that will lead to real job prospects.
 
This will result in the development of a skilled available Redlands Coast workforce that have the most in demand skills to meet the jobs vacancies on offer!
 
In addition to Vocational Education and Training offerings (VET) offerings we are working on the attraction of University level offerings here in the Redlands. We need to hear from you our Redlands industry employers what University qualified workers you envisage you will be looking to hire here in the Redlands in the next 5 years.  
 
The survey will take 5-10 minutes to complete. We value your time and input. All data is used for research purposes only and will be kept in the strictest confidence. We do not give away or sell your personal details.
