Plenty of opportunity

PARADE OF LIGHT

THE Dubbo region has “plenty” of vacancies and opportunities for tradespeople, including with some of our biggest employers. Damian Dean (pictured) is an apprentice electrician with the Star Group and is currently engaged in the Dubbo Hospital redevelopment. “Australia has a large skills shortage within the electrical industry,” Mr Dean told Dubbo Photo News, pointing out that means opportunity for people thinking about entering the industry. Meanwhile, Fletcher International Export’s HR manager Maddy Herbert says they have jobs for qualified tradespeople that are challenging and rewarding, and they’re looking for local people to fill the roles.

The Macquarie Credit Union DREAM Festival lantern parade is on this Saturday night, October 26, where hundreds of school students and community groups will join the parade from Macquarie Regional Library to the Victoria Park cenotaph in a sea of lantern light. Pictured left to right, with some of the lanterns made across Dubbo in school and community workshops, are Kieran McFarlane, Corey Shrimpton, Coby Read and Cooper Edwards-Rennie, front, Minnie EdwardsRennie, Nikita GordonThomson, Claudia Dodd and Cash Carter.
