Go West proves a big success AN OVERWHELMING response was received recently from workers in the Eastern States following recent television coverage of Western Australia's booming employment opportunities.The demand for labour and the record pay rates in the mining industries in the North-West of Western Australia were featured in a 60 Minutes story on Channel 9. With more than 300 calls received by the Small Business Development Corporation's (SBDC) 'Go West Now' help desk on the first night, it was no surprise that BHP and Atlas Iron who were also featured in the television report were also inundated with calls. "About 50 per cent of callers have a trade, which puts them at an advantage, however everyone is encouraged to register on the 'Go West Now' website and I do not expect the interest to die down soon," Small Business Minister Margaret Quirk stated However, people were reminded to do their homework and make sure they had somewhere to stay and brought their trade papers and Qualifications with them. The 'Go West Now' campaign was launched by Premier Alan Carpenter on the eve of grand final day in September last year. Since then there has been almost 95,000 visits to the 'Go West Now' website with more than 5,000 people registering interest in relocating to Western Australia. The 'Go West Now' campaign in New Zealand recently took place when 20 private companies joined the Small Business Development Corporation's Expo. |
