RIVERLAND tourism, hospitality, and travel industries have a new tool to attract, retain, and train workers, with the launch of a national careers and training platform. 
The State Government, working in partnership with Accommodation Australia, has launched eeger, a digital platform that brings together job vacancies, training programs, and career development resources to jobseekers, employers and educators across all sectors. 
“The launch of eeger marks a pivotal moment for the industry, offering a national perspective for tourism, travel and hospitality job seekers to find the right opportunities and for employers to access the skilled workforce they need,” Minister for Trade and Tourism Don Farrell said.
“The (State) Government is proud to support this innovative platform, which will help rebuild and future-proof Australia’s visitor economy. 
“My first job was in tourism, and I know firsthand how magnificent this industry is to be a part of. I encourage businesses and jobseekers to sign up and make the most of this innovative platform and join this vibrant and important sector.” 
eeger general manager Emilie Howe said the resource “is more than a job platform – it’s built by industry, for industry. 
“It’s a unique solution that centralises career, job and training information for our workforce needs — the first of its kind on a national scale,” Ms Howe said.
“We encourage all businesses in Tourism, Hospitality and Travel, no matter the size, to sign up and take advantage of the free eeger platform.”
