About Us

Sunshine Coast RJC has brought together a proactive and diverse group of representatives from the community who voluntarily contribute their knowledge, skills, insight and passion for the region, its people and its future growth.

ABOUT US

The Regional Jobs Committees (RJC) program has been extended for another 2 years to 30 September 2027.

The RJCs address the unique training and workforce challenges of regional communities across Queensland. From Cairns in the north to the Gold Coast in the south, 12 RJCs are coordinating skilling and workforce solutions to meet local needs.

The RJCs will continue to play a vital role in connecting regional communities to workforce and skilling opportunities through region-specific solutions.

Through their efforts, RJCs:

  • identify local workforce challenges and link stakeholders with government programs, resources, and events
  • address barriers to training, workforce participation and business growth
  • develop strategies to resolve skills gaps and emerging workforce issues
  • support regional job growth and plan for future employment needs
  • foster collaboration among local businesses, industry leaders, government, training providers and schools to align local skills with economic activity.
