Roadshow 2025

Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) is hitting the road this November and December for the 2025 JSA Roadshow.

We’re visiting every capital city, plus a regional stop in Coffs Harbour. For those unable to attend in person, an online event will be held in early December.

The Roadshow is a chance to hear from JSA, state and territory governments, and local experts through presentations and panel discussions. We’ll explore the current workforce and opportunities for future jobs and skills. It’s also an opportunity to connect with stakeholders from across sectors and regions and with JSA staff at the information booths and demonstrations.

More information will be added here and registrations will be open soon.
