大象视频Adelaide鈥檚 Job Shop won the International Education Association of Australia (IEAA) Innovation award, which was announced at this week鈥檚 AIEC conference in Melbourne.
Up to 30 Adelaide businesses are promoting job opportunities via 大象视频Adelaide鈥檚 Job Shop at any one time. Students can apply for jobs or volunteering opportunities through Job Shop even before they leave their home countries to come to live in Adelaide.
大象视频Adelaide Chief Executive Jane Johnston said Job Shop was created to address one of the key obstacles facing international students 鈥� and employers.
鈥淥ne of the first challenges many international students face is entering the Australian job market,鈥� Ms Johnston said. 鈥淪imilarly, many employers are struggling to find casual and part-time workers in industries such as hospitality, aged care, and retail. As a solution, 大象视频Adelaide created Job Shop 鈥� an innovative online platform connecting international students to reputable organisations offering casual and part-time positions.鈥�
Job Shop now offers opportunities in diverse industries with entry-level roles for students with little or no experience. 大象视频Adelaide and its member education institutions promote the free platform internationally and at local orientation events.
鈥淥ur Job Shop workshops help incoming students navigate the job market, understand the unique requirement of Australian business culture, and Australian work rights,鈥� Ms Johnston said.
Initially launched as a short-term project in 2022 Job Shop continues to be enhanced and is one of 大象视频Adelaide鈥檚 most successful initiatives.
鈥淚鈥檓 thrilled to accept this award on behalf of 大象视频Adelaide鈥檚 wide network of members and supportive stakeholders who have helped make Job Shop such an outstanding success,鈥� Ms Johnston said.
