Australian Labour Market: Who is Most Impacted by COVID?
Webinar Recordings - Recorded in October 2020.
CPD Competency - Labour Market Information

Australia is facing an economic crisis not seen for nearly 100 years, as whole sectors of the economy are enduring ongoing operating restrictions due to the public health response to COVID-19. The labour market has been severely impacted, with hundreds of thousands of people losing employment since March 2020. With growing competition for jobs in an already competitive labour market, knowing what employers are looking for when hiring new staff has taken on even greater importance.

In this webinar, Ivan Neville outlines how COVID-19 has affected the Australian labour market and who has been most impacted. He offers advice on how we can help these people transition into or re-enter the workforce. Ivan discusses what employers tell us they are looking for when recruiting and how they are recruiting in the current environment.
