Behind every successful business is one thing: great people.

Join us for July Connect as we come together with gforce, an organisation that has spent more than 40 years helping connect people, businesses and opportunities across our region.

From apprenticeships and traineeships to recruitment, workforce solutions and inclusive employment, gforce has played an important role in supporting the people and businesses that help Geelong thrive.
