Australian Regional Employment Agencies: Tully

About

The family owned and operated company consists of an experienced management team that have been dedicated for over 15 years to supplying labour to regional and remote centres throughout Australia.

Regional Manager Nick Thompson reports that �through our discussions with many local growers and businesses that the Tully Region can certainly benefit from the provision of a consistent and reliable workforce.�

Area�s successful formula is to work closely with both Private and International Student Education centres and endeavour to attract them to both Study and work in regional Australia providing labour where it is needed most. Horticulture Skills Australia and TAFE Qld are already actively marketing the region to potential students oversees.

�It is not only the international students that will benefit from this programme� say�s Mr Thompson. � Through the opening of education centres in the region locals will be encouraged to undertake further education options within these facilities.�

All though this programme will evolve over the coming year, AREA has made the commitment early. � We are currently utilising students from city based education centres to service our clients, these students will come to Tully for up to 3 months or more to work. In addition to this AREA runs a national network that enables working holiday makers a one stop shop when working around Australia.

One problem AREA face when establishing a new region is finding accommodation for students in regional AREA�s. Mr Thompson says � Finding low budget accommodation for students whilst they study presents that last part of the Jigsaw for us, I would be very interested on hearing from any organisations or people that may be able to assist us with this.�
