Bundaberg Jobs Commitment

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link


The Bundaberg Jobs Commitment is all about connecting employers with our youth to inspire and assist them in making decisions to pursue a life that includes work and education after they leave school.

The program was created to address the Bundaberg region’s high youth unemployment and disengagement rates.

The Commitment is based upon internationally recognised research by Dr. Anthony Mann which concludes that ‘the more youth encounter employers whilst in school [4 or more often being cited] the more they earn, and the lower their chances of becoming NEET [No longer in Employment, Education or Training] as young adults.’

You can read more about Dr. Mann's findings here.

The Commitment provides employer-led opportunities for our youth to experience positive exposure to the industry, mentors, and other forms of career inspiration that will make a difference in their pathway to work or further education.

It aims to ensure that as youth in our region leave school, they have a clear understanding of available career opportunities, along with enough support and experiences to make informed choices that lead them on a pathway to employment.

In October 2020, all secondary schools in the Bundaberg local government area signed a charter document committing to providing opportunities for youth to engage with local industry representatives who will inspire students about their future and give them every opportunity to succeed. You can see the signed Charter here and the photos in the Photo Gallery.

We are calling on all local employers to participate in the Bundaberg Jobs Commitment.
