Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) hit the road in November and December for the 2025 JSA Roadshow.
We visited every capital city and Coffs Harbour and for those unable to attend in person, we held online event in early December. Watch the video below.
JSA Roadshows are chance to hear from JSA, state and territory governments, and local experts through presentations and panel discussions. We explore the current workforce and opportunities for future jobs and skills. They’re also an opportunity to connect with stakeholders from across sectors and regions and with JSA staff via information booths and demonstrations.
