Managers Report
 We are almost at the end of another year, one that I’m sure our industry has found to be very challenging. The floods and cyclones inflicted enormous damage on a large number of sporting and r  ecreation facilities throughout the state, many are still struggling to get back to normal and sadly some sporting clubs have had to fold due to lack of facilities, slow decision making by insurance companies, or unfavourable decisions by insurance companies.
It is extremely heartening though to see the heavy workloads being carried out by so many clubs to ensure they continue to exist. In a recent trip through some of the areas of huge damage due to cyclone Yasi, it was clear that many of these communities are still feeling the effects of the cyclone and many communities are struggling to get back to pre-Yasi status.

After its lengthy development period the Sport, Recreation and Fitness Volunteer Portal has been given the green light and finally went live at the end of November. The Skills Alliance is extremely excited by this development as we believe the portal will be a significant resource for industry.
The portal can be found at www.sportandrecvolunteering.com.au and offers the facility for clubs and associations to list their upcoming events as well as their vacant volunteering positions for free. The portal also links directly to Volunteering Queensland, so that organisations can search for potential volunteers from amongst the entire database of people who have listed their interest in volunteering.

Workforce development is how an industry or organisation attracts workers, retains workers and provides learning and skilling opportunities.
In our industry this applies to both employees and volunteers.
The role of the Skills Alliance is two-fold.
We help sport and recreation industry employers and networks identify and respond collaboratively to their workforce development needs.
At the same time, we also offer useful workforce development products and services to help individual employers provide learning opportunities for their workers.
