Following the Let’s Talk Employment Hospitality, Tourism and Retail workshop, Jobs Brew & Bites brought the focus to job seekers, creating a space to connect, build confidence and step into real employment opportunities.

💬 Building on the discussions with employers, this session supported job seekers to better understand what businesses are looking for, how to communicate effectively and how to make a strong first impression when meeting employers or attending interviews. The level of engagement was strong. Job seekers showed genuine interest in finding work, came prepared with impressive resumes and demonstrated a positive and proactive attitude. A highlight of the workshop was the interactive oval discussion, where participants shared their thoughts and experiences in an open and supportive environment, guided by Anthony Lew-Fatt.

🙏 A sincere thank you to our guest speakers, employment providers and all participants who contributed to the session.

🔍 What do mining jobs really look like in the NT — and how do people get there?

That question sparked a strong conversation at a Mining Workforce
Workshop held at YouthWorX NT, facilitated by the Local Jobs Program, with insights from Minerals Council of Australia NT.

Industry, training and employment partners agreed: we need clearer pathways, better alignment between training and real jobs, and stronger support to help people stay and succeed in mining roles; especially for young people, First Nations Territorians and those entering the industry through alternative pathways.

💬 The outcome is a shared commitment to keep working together in 2026, including the establishment of a Mining Workforce Working Group to turn ideas into action.

A big thank you to all the organisations who participated in the event:
