Highlands Hub - Community
Where we Connect

We're currently in development of a new Highlands Hub for our Community.

The new Community Hub will integrate with the existing Business Hub and include the following features:

Community Directory for Community members and groups
Community Articles/News
Local Jobs/Careers Portal
Profile builder for Jobseekers, Employers & Job Service Providers
Searchable Industry Content Page
Career Pathways Content Publishing

Why are we launching this platform? There are a number of reasons including; addressing the local jobs and skills gaps; no current consolidated view of local jobs online; a central place for community to connect and communicate.
