We’ve seen lives change because of secure employment. We’re proud to partner with Tasmania Police to help young people find their inner potential.

The attraction to KEEN was an opportunity for personal growth, but more importantly to have a direct influence of giving people a stronger chance to enhance their lives. Being able to give people the opportunity to work, gain skills, complete courses, and become better people inside and outside of work has great personal intrinsic reward and motivation.

It’s an exciting time for Tasmania’s future. Ray (CEO) shares his thoughts.

KEEN Partners is seeking a dynamic person to fill the newly created role of General Manager. Reporting to the CEO, Ray Mostogl, the General Manager will take over the operational leadership and continue to grow the number of apprentices, trainees and flexible workforce in line with strategic objectives and consistent with the values of this people-centric business.

Hydrogen is an industry ramping up, and we’re running workshops to help businesses to be part of the opportunity.

Business is tough when you don't have access to work ready, skilled labour. KEEN are designed to solve that challenge by providing capable and flexible employees to fill the gaps.

We’re excited by the potential for a Hydrogen Industry to be established in Tasmania and in particular, Bell Bay. One part of ensuring skilled workers are available sits with the formalisation of the industry qualifications. Stakeholder feedback on training is requested.

Green Hydrogen offers Tasmania a generational opportunity of global significance, but we’ll need the skills to support it.

Port Dalrymple students are employed by KEEN Partners in engineering trade apprenticeships and placed with a range of George Town and Bell Bay-based businesses.

Thinking about trade career options? Not all pathways are the same.

It’s a word thrown around a lot, but what does “resilience” look like, and is it really that hard to uncover and nurture?

Recent media discussions on the topic of resilience describes the causes of why it may not be as strong in the current generation of new entrants to the employment market. There are many causes, but two in particular rise to the surface.

It can be daunting learning the ropes of a new role, but it’s becoming more common for people to have a few different jobs in their lifetime. With so many possibilities, why not explore a few options and embrace change?  We’ve put together a few steps to help make the transition a little easier. 

In May - June, 700 less apprentices or trainees started a training contract in Tasmania than at the same time last year. With a lack of employer confidence in this uncertain world it’s understandable that they don’t want to commit to the full training journey with another employee.

How can it be that Tasmanian employers often share their frustration with claims it’s difficult to find suitable employees - yet our unemployment rates, particularly amongst the under 25 age group is so high?

It’s a great portal for kids and families, locally and abroad to enjoy a whole heap of activities without needing to leave their homes! Take a virtual tour of The Louvre in Paris, see the Live cameras at the San Diego Zoo or get a full tour of the International Space Station!

We’re committed to increasing the number of people who acquire the necessary employability traits to enter the workforce with our industry partners. This means looking beyond traditional recruitment methods, and provides opportunity to bring on board non-traditional sources, such as people of culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CALD). 

When major events started to be cancelled across Tasmania, from Dark Mofo, to V8 Supercars, Agfest, Relay for Life and a swag of wedding postponements, Weeding Hire were left with a massive hole in their calendar. They are the major supplier to all of these events, and whilst they still have needs for industrial cover (and even infection control marquees), it’s obvious they’d have too many in their Winter workforce
