What’s ‘Next’

Continually growing and working to help communities, Gforce Employment Solutions has recently rolled out the ParentsNext program in Geelong.

Additionally, in partnership with Encompass Community Services, Gforce has been awarded a contract to provide Disability Employment Services in Geelong and surrounding regions.

“Successful trials of the ParentsNext program since April 2016 have seen the government invest $263 million in its Australia-wide expansion,” says Gforce chief Rob Birch said.

“Gforce’s extensive expertise in employment services, combined with our local knowledge, contributed to our selection as the sole provider in our region“.

The appointment of EGF Solutions coincides with positive changes for people seeking work under the Disability Employment Services (DES) program, Mr Birch says.

“We’re delighted to join Encompass in assisting people of all abilities to find employment.”

Gforce was established in 1983 as a community-based group training organisation for local apprenticeship and traineeship opportunities.

Today Gforce’s expanded services cater for all employment and recruitment needs.
