Showcasing Council employment pathways

West Arnhem Regional Council was proud to participate in both the Gunbalanya School Careers Day and the Maningrida Job Fair in May 2026, promoting local employment opportunities and connecting with community members across the region.
At the Gunbalanya School Careers Day, approximately 80 students had the opportunity to explore plant and equipment displays, learn about local government careers, and discover future employment and training pathways.
Council also attended the Maningrida Job Fair, hosted by Bawinanga Employment Services, where staff promoted current vacancies and supported community members with job enquiries and applications. The event attracted around 100 attendees and brought together ten stakeholder organisations.
These events are an important way for Council to support local employment, strengthen workforce pathways and encourage the next generation of workers across West Arnhem.
