It is all possible!

Think Regional for Careers Advisors

We understand how difficult it can be to navigate the career market, to not only identify key industries and the employers who make up those but also the opportunities that exist within them and the pathways into those positions.

It is all possible in Regional Australia

Think Regional does just that, it is a tool that consolidates regional labour market information for students and regional career builders – to have a clear picture of what’s available but it’s also designed to elevate the employment brand of the regions and to challenge negative perceptions about building a career here.

Think Regional showcases that you really can have it all in regional Australia, without compromising your career or lifestyle. For too long students have been encouraged to leave the regions to build their careers while businesses here are struggling to find people.

We invite you to utilise this resource, to join in the conversation and follow this journey.

A Guide

The National Skills Commission reported online advertised regional job vacancies surged to 93,000 in March 2023, marking a 10.1% rise compared to a year earlier.

Keep talent regional

Employee wellbeing is the new workplace imperative according to the State of the Global Workplace 2022 report.

Human Resource capabilities of regional business

With more than 250k small-medium businesses in regional Australia, 70% have little to no internal HR capabilities according to the Society of Human Resource Management.

Think Regional completes the recruitment cycle by providing a direct link into widely unknown employment opportunities available in a region such as the Shoalhaven, especially in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

By consolidating local labour market information, Think Regional will assist me to explain to students the types of opportunities that are available locally, which is something we have struggled to provide information on in the past.
