Workforce Council initiatives IWDS, PSCQ and DSTF joined forces with the Mackay Regional Council and George Street Neighbourhood Centre Association Inc. to present the ‘Do You Speak My Language?’ conference on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 September in Mackay.
This was a unique opportunity for community, children’s services, disability services, NGO’s and government service providers in the Mackay region to come together to receive information, develop skills and network.
The two day conference explored the local ethnic demographics, what we need to be aware of when working with migrants and refugees, and culturally inclusive service delivery, just to name a few.
This conference was aimed at target groups for the Professional Support Coordinator Queensland (PSCQ), the Disability Sector Training Fund (DSTF) and the Integrated Workforce Development Strategy (IWDS).
