Onslow businesses will soon have access to a range of support services, with recruitment now underway for a full time business development facilitator to be based in the town.
Chevron Australia has partnered with the Small Business Centre West Pilbara (SBCWP) as part of an economic development program in the region to build local business capacity and capability.
SBCWP Manager Rachael Whiting told the recent Onslow Industry Forum the partnership had enabled the centre to establish full time positions in Onslow and Karratha to provide one-on-one business consultations and training opportunities.
The forum, on June 27, attracted more than 40 attendees including Onslow-based businesses and representatives from interested businesses in Karratha.
Onslow Industry Forums are a joint initiative of the Shire of Ashburton and the Onslow Chamber of Commerce and Industry to link local businesses, community and industry together to ensure opportunities are known.
Mrs Whiting said that in addition to advice for businesses, the SBCWP would also run professional development and networking events.
“As construction of the Wheatstone Project progresses and other projects come on line at Ashburton North — SBCWP will be in a good position to support the start-up and growth of small businesses in Onslow,” she said.
The next Onslow industry form is scheduled for 19 September. Venue to be announced soon. For any enquiries contact Chantelle Salmeri on 9184 9314.
