Recruiters will visit Euroa, Shepparton, Yarrawonga and Wangaratta offering jobseekers the opportunity to get an idea of the hundreds of jobs on offer.
For 17-year-old James Davies "coming back home to work" was always the plan. "I finish school in two weeks, which I have been doing from The Academy in Melbourne, and it was just always the plan to come back home and work," he said.
"When the opportunity to work at LS Precast came up I just jumped at it because it is a local company and I have some mates I will be working with there."
James said having experience working on the family farm would help him enter the workforce. "But the recruitment drive is open to everyone, that is what is great about this opportunity," he said.
Jobseekers will be able to submit their resumes and ask questions at the events. For more information visit seek.com.au/LS-precast-jobs
