A RESOURCE industry job expo will be staged on the Gold Coast in a few weeks' time to connect the city's unemployed with mining and construction companies who want willing workers.
Premier Anna Bligh this afternoon made the announcement on the Gold Coast following a summit between resource company executives, the State Government and councils.
Work for Queensland job expos will also be staged in Cairns, the Sunshine Coast, the Whitsunday region and the Wide Bay Burnett.
''We have significant numbers of Queenslanders, particularly in some regional areas, out of work and yet the mining industry is facing a skills shortage,'' Ms Bligh said.
''We know that as many as 38,000 construction and operation jobs will be created in the Queensland resources sector between now and 2014-2015.
