EARN WHILE YOU LEARN AT ISAAC REGIONAL COUNCILThere has never been a better time to explore the future of your career and to shape local communities as the 2022 trainee and apprenticeship recruitment kicks off for Isaac Regional Council.School leavers, job seekers, students and community-driven people can gain a nationally recognised qualification for 11 positions now available in Clermont, Moranbah and Dysart.

Mayor Anne Baker said Council is committed to supporting genuine career pathways and employment opportunities in Isaac.

“At council we help shape communities and positively impact lives while happily pursuing a rewarding career,” Mayor Baker said.

“There will always be a place for community driven and passionate people and here is your opportunity.”

CEO Jeff Stewart-Harris said finding homegrown talent and helping them reach their career goals right here in the Isaac region is one of the greatest achievements of Council.

“Working for Isaac Regional Council is like being a book in a library. We employ plumbers and electricians; administrators and animal

compliance officers; fitters and water operators, each an open book of knowledge, experience and passion,” he said.

“It takes a wide range of books to make up a library, with very few other organisations able to offer so much diversity in one place.

“As an apprentice or trainee with Council, you can work towards a qualification in a supportive work environment. This just goes to show the wonderful career opportunities you can have right here in the Isaac region.”

Isaac families who attend a First 5 Forever session at their local library or special Pop Up event will be able to take home a F5F Rhyme Time booklet to keep.

The booklets are filled with rhymes, tips, ideas and information on the important role parents and caregivers play in providing strong foundations in the development of a child’s language skills from birth to five years.

These booklets are designed to be enjoyed together all the time and make a great addition to your child’s home library.

Only one copy will be given per child for the month so if you have more than one child attending a F5F session, all children in the family can take a copy of the booklet.
