A unique opportunity to experience the food manufacturing industry from the farm to the factory floor is on the offer with the creation of more jobs in regional Victoria with one of Australia’s biggest food manufacturers.
Minister for Employment Jaala Pulford today announced a $3.71 million partnership between Jobs Victoria and George Weston Foods (GWF)—the name behind the Don KR smallgoods brand—to create 200 new jobs with the food manufacturer.
The full-time ongoing roles are available at GWF’s Don KR factory in Castlemaine, its head office in Port Melbourne and farms in Bears Lagoon in north central Victoria and Girgarre in the Goulburn Valley, an official media release said.
GWF is looking for food production operators, packers, farm assistants and administrators with recruits to receive specialised induction training before they commence employment.
Successful applicants will attain a Certificate III in Food Processing, Certificate III and IV in Agriculture or Certificate IV in Leadership and Management—with training costs and fees covered by GWF.
The ongoing roles will provide a unique opportunity to experience the food manufacturing industry from the farm to the factory floor, while working up the ladder for a rewarding long-term career with management potential.
Those hired will be supported with dedicated workplace mentors, free uniforms and any necessary work-related equipment.
The jobs are being prioritised for young people aged 18 to 25, women aged 45 and over, people with disability, people who are long term unemployed, Aboriginal Victorians, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and others experiencing challenges finding work.
