BUSINESS NSW Mid North Coast will host the 2025 Business NSW Mid North Coast Skills and Training Summit on Thursday 23 October at The Westport Club in Port Macquarie.
The half-day summit will bring together leaders from education, training, industry, and government to discuss how to build a sustainable, locally driven skills ecosystem to meet the needs of business and industry across the region.
Business NSW Regional Director Mid North Coast Rod Barnaby, told News Of The Area the Summit will explore the crucial links between education and industry.
“The Summit will explore the disconnect between education pathways, regional skills and training and the skills needs of industry, and present the case for coordinated action to strengthen training and employment outcomes across the Mid North Coast,” Mr Barnaby said.
“Outcomes from the event will directly inform the design of a pilot project aimed at creating a resilient, community-led skills ecosystem that keeps talent in our region and supports future workforce needs.”
The Summit will feature speakers from ETC, TAFE NSW, Charles Sturt University, Essential Energy, Birdon Group, Taree Universities Campus, Regional Industry Education Partnerships (RIEP), Apprenticeship Careers Australia, and Jobs & Skills Australia.
The 2025 Business NSW Mid North Coast Skills and Training Summit, in collaboration with ETC, will run from 9am to 1pm and is open to business owners, educators, training providers, and anyone interested in shaping the region’s future workforce.
