Coburg North Employment Precinct Creates Jobs in Health, Retail, Industry

Workskil Australia runs a workforce centre at 9945 Sydney Road that gives employment support directly to residents in Central Coburg. The service sits within a suburb where the Coburg North Employment Precinct already supports more than 3,100 jobs across more than 600 businesses.

Precinct redevelopment creates local openings

The former Coburg North TAFE site is being redeveloped to strengthen the industrial and employment role of the precinct. Central Coburg had earlier set a target of 9,805 new jobs by 2020, with the largest demand expected in health, community services, retail and education. Those same sectors remain central to the precinct’s current mix of activity.

Who is already using the support

Businesses operating in the precinct benefit from the ready supply of workers that the Workskil centre helps prepare and place. Residents seeking roles in warehousing, retail and community services can access the centre’s programs without leaving the suburb. The redevelopment of the TAFE land is intended to keep adding industrial space that will require the same workforce skills the centre already targets.

Qualitative evidence from local planning documents shows continued emphasis on matching skill development with the precinct’s established businesses. The Workskil location on Sydney Road places the service within easy reach of both the employment precinct and surrounding residential areas. This proximity allows the centre to respond directly to hiring needs reported by the more than 600 businesses already operating there.

Anyone interested in current vacancies or training pathways can visit the Workskil Australia centre at 9945 Sydney Road. The service remains the main local point for residents looking to enter or advance within the health, retail and industrial roles that dominate the Coburg North Employment Precinct.
