From BIA eNews: 1 May 2024

MarineJobs.org.au is an online jobs platform and a collaboration by the Marina Industries Association (MIA), the Boating Industry Association Ltd (BIA) and Superyacht Australia (SYA) to help the marine industry tackle the competitive tight labour market and promote the marine industry as a preferred career choice.

To ensure Marine Jobs online can help deliver to the recruitment needs of industry, the partners have decided to transition it to a Facebook platform. As Marine Jobs provides an online recruitment and retention function for industry, the partners agreed it was necessary to find a sustainable way forward.

Leveraging a platform such as Facebook will be an efficient way of reaching job seekers. It will ensure that we can continue to provide an online solution for marine industry workers and employers.

Marine Jobs online has been very successful at recruiting management and administrative roles, and it is hoped that the transition to a Facebook platform will increase the exposure of operational roles. The lower cost associated with Facebook as the host platform will mean that posting jobs will be free for employers.

The Marine Jobs domain name marinejobs.org.au will be retained to provide important information on career pathways and jobs available in the various segments of the marine industry and will provide links to the Facebook page for recruiters and job seekers.

Meanwhile, BIA will continue to work hard for industry in other areas to support jobs in the marine industry such as advocacy to Governments to support skills/trades/apprentices, participating in a multiple reference and working groups, working with schools and teachers, supporting marine jobs Open Days and promotions at events and shows, and building on positive partnerships with TAFE and Australian Institute of Engineering (AIE).
