The Salvation Army Employment Plus in Tasmania has become a partner of Tasmania Together
The Salvation Army Employment Plus in Tasmania has become a partner of Tasmania Together, assisting the State to achieve its employment goals.
Tasmania Together is a pioneering project that allows the people of Tasmania to have a say in their long-term social, economic and environmental future. As a world-leading system of community goal setting and decision making, it is enshrined in law and used to guide decision making at the highest levels of the State Public Service.
Tasmania Together has set a vision for the State based on the wishes of the people. It also includes 24 goals and 212 benchmarks that were of most concern to the people during more than two-and-a-half years of community consultation. Tasmania Together formally reports to Parliament on progress towards the benchmarks every five years.
The Salvation Army Employment Plus has been working with Tasmania Together on goal 16 – increasing meaningful work opportunities in Tasmania – for the past year, and strategies such as “Working Together” and “100 people working in 100 working days” have resulted in over 300 long term unemployed Tasmanians now in full employment.
