00:08 I love Ballarat for its sense of community.

00:10 I love the fact that we're like a big family,

00:14 but we also have that city vibe.

00:16 So we're attracting some really new and exciting industries

00:20 to the region and that's been exciting to be a part.

00:24 My family were born here

00:27 and I want to see Ballarat survive and thrive.

00:33 For me it's the opportunity to make an impact

00:37 and do some good for the community.

00:40 I'm very lucky to work across multiple industries

00:43 with the job role that I have,

00:45 whether it be a skills priority area like hospitality

00:48 or in the care sector.

00:49 I never know what I'm going to be doing on any day of the week.

00:53 But the good thing about that is that I actually get to learn

00:56 so many different things about those industries.

00:58 So not only do I get to connect somebody with their first job,

01:01 but I might actually also be making an impact to somebody

01:05 who's never worked or is changing a career

01:09 or is wanting to pursue something

01:11 that they just didn't have the opportunity to

01:13 when they were a teenager.

01:15 The Local Jobs Program is not just about finding their first job,

01:18 it's about making sure the whole community works together

01:22 to have a big impact on the community

01:25 and drive a workforce that drives our economy

01:28 that hopefully makes us one of the most successful cities.

01:32 If I looked to Ballarat in 10 years time,

01:34 I'm hoping that we'll see so many more industries attracted here.

01:38 We're starting to slowly see them in BWES.

01:40 I'm hoping we see that buzzing.

01:42 I'm hoping that airport transports

01:45 and connects us to the rest of Australia.

01:47 And I'm also hoping that I can be a part of the leadership

01:51 and the drive for being a better Ballarat.
