Parliamentary question without notice|Building Family Opportunities
15/10/2014
The Hon. K.L. VINCENT: I think the minister in her answer referred to some 395 job opportunities that had arisen from the program. I may have that figure slightly wrong; she was listing quite a few numbers there. I am wondering what exactly constitutes a ‘job opportunity’ or ’employment opportunity’. Is that someone who is actually now in employment or someone who has support to look for employment? What does that mean in a practical sense?
The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers): I don’t have the definition of what constitutes a ‘job opportunity’. There will be a definition, criteria associated with it, and I am happy to look into that and to bring that level of detail back to the chamber as soon as I can.
Date of answer:14th of October 2014
In reply to the Hon. K.L. VINCENT (19 June 2014).
The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers): I am advised:
The 395 job opportunities’ referred to means that 395 jobs were secured for members of the families assisted through the Program.
