The Australian Resources Careers Market (ARCM) was held as part of QREX at the Rockhampton Showgrounds from Tuesday 21 July to Thursday 23 July 2009. As a centre of education and inspiration, the ARCM’s primary role is interaction with the public to showcase resources careers, training, education and employment support.
Skilling, Up-Skilling & Re-Skilling

Consider specialising within your current field or improving your current skills with further education and job training opportunities.
Or look to return to a past career path or move into a new profession with re-skilling and re-training opportunities, recruitment assistance and networking with business leaders.
The ARCM included a core group of training and education providers and recruitment agencies and departments to help people get the information they needed.

More than Just a Showcase
