Regional coordinating committees
A network of key industry, community and government stakeholders are working together through collaborations and partnerships to progress practical actions to support building a local workforce for local jobs.
Twelve Regional Coordinating Committees (RCCs) are in place across the State, supporting regional communities to implement new practical and place-based actions with a focus on local solutions to local issues.
RCC’s are led by regional TAFE colleges, Chambers of Commerce and Industry, and Development Commissions along with community stakeholders and other State and Commonwealth Government Departments.
While actions are unique to each region, key themes of regional action plans focus on:
- attracting and retaining workers with the right skills in the region, particularly in those industries in the region where there is a demand for skilled workers;
- supporting young people’s participation in training and employment;
- providing flexible and responsive training and education pathways for young people and the local community, including under-represented groups; and
- attracting skilled migrants to fill employment vacancies unable to be filled by the local workforce.
The RCCs meet throughout the year to address key priority areas designed to build the region’s skills base and grow a skilled workforce in the regions.
Workforce insights: Regional training and employment trends
Regional training and employment trends include labour market data and qualitative information gathered through the Department’s annual Western Australian Jobs, Education and Training (WAJET) survey.
This data is available for each of WA’s nine regions and Perth through an interactive Regional Snapshot.
