WHAT'S ON FOR BUSINESS
EAST GIPPSLAND
The Growing Regional Opportunities for Work Program (GROW) is a new initiative for business operators that seeks to strengthen economic outcomes and increase job opportunities through maximising local spend in the region.
 
You're invited to an Information Session on 27 Nov 2018 at the Riversleigh in Bairnsdale.
 
GROW program facilitators will work with up to 30 of our key local purchasers and suppliers to review their procurement, employment, and supply capability with the aim of strengthening organisational, local and social impact. On a larger scale, it’s about maximising the impact of the significant growth in our region to ensure the entire supply chain benefits.
 
The GROW program also seeks to ensure that local procurement and employment opportunities are maximised in the delivery of our large pipeline of upcoming infrastructure projects. The project will build on and link work already underway in this area, including with our Industry Capability Network representative.

See video for more information.
 
Date: 27 November
Time: 11.30am - 1pm
Venue: Riversleigh, 1 Nicholson St Bairnsdale
To register: Trybooking

The one-on-one mentoring will be delivered by a range of industry experts across various fields working directly with small businesses to improve their digital capability. Industry experts will assist businesses in developing their unique digital strategy and roadmap for their businesses. One-on-one mentoring sessions will include referrals to other appropriate business advisory services.
