Job Placement

The ETO Job Placement Service is available if you need ETO to ensure that Job ready jobseekers (most likely pre-employment course graduates) are placed in a suitable workplace. In most instances ESI staff can facilitate the placement following pre employment training and feedback from the ETO consultants. However you may wish ETO to facilitate the placement of special needs jobseekers, mature age, Indigenous Australians and jobseekers with a disability, if the ESI staff are not confident in selling these job seekers.

ETO employment consultants can work with ESI staff to identify “special needs friendly” employers that can provide the jobseeker with a special needs sensitive/aware workplace environment where they can succeed and build the cross cultural and employment skills necessary to be a valued employee.

ETO employment consultants use the special needs jobseekers skills profile to target potential employers who have made an informed business decision to employ special needs jobseekers. Worsening skill shortages are encouraging many employers across Australia to make, a conscious business decision to commence recruitment of, or to increase the number of special needs jobseekers Australian staff they employ, and/or broaden their company's interaction with special needs jobseekers. ETO can partner with JobNetwork assisting you to identify and market to these companies.

ETO inform the employer as to the services, subsidies and support available to them and the jobseeker. They support the jobseeker in their induction, and employers are offered cultural awareness or other appropriate training for other staff to ensure they understand the pressures special needs new employees must deal with.

ETO see cross-cultural communication as a major component of locking in positive Indigenous employment outcomes, and offer companies employing Indigenous jobseekers a workshop titled – 'Indigenous Australians in the workplace. Making it a positive experience for all.' This session ensures that we all Remember Diversity and Culture when communicating.

This workshop highlights the cross-cultural communication issues that arise in working with Indigenous Australians helping workers to understand the range of cultural perspectives displayed in multicultural Australia, and to understand key cross-cultural communication issues both at a personal and corporate level. The business entity benefits from improved cross-cultural communication skills.

Over 4000 participants have attended this workshop in recent years, and over 95% have stated that it exceeded their expectations. ETO suggest that all Job Network staff dealing with Indigenous jobseekers be offered attendance at this workshop as they will also gain an insight into and an understanding of cross-cultural relations with Indigenous people, the impact that history has had on these relations, and contemporary circumstances. Together we look at a multitude of issues both past and present and connect these to the actual workplace and relationships at work.

ETO Job Placement is available to all pre-employment job ready course graduates. ETO low overheads ensure they can place these jobseekers cost competitive rates at least equivalent to, or below Jobnetwork placement costs.
