It's not over for ex-Mitsubishi employees thanks to the Skills in Demand program and other resources.
Nearly half the workers laid off from Mitsubishi's Tonsley Park plant have found or been guaranteed jobs.
The carmaker shut its southern manufacturing operations on March 28, leaving 530 workers unemployed.
A further 400 workers stayed on to decommission the plant but will be out of a job soon. Yesterday, the State Government confirmed there were 300 positions assigned for former Mitsubishi employees through the Skills in Demand program.
Transport company CavPower has guaranteed another 70 retrenched employees accelerated apprenticeships and 30 workers had already found employment by their last day at Tonsley Park.
A further 64 people have been referred to jobs through the Federal Job Network program.
The release of the figures coincides with the appointment of former Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union senior shop steward Ray Sara; as the project officer who will monitor the progress of retrenched workers over the next two years.
AMWU secretary John Camillo said Mr Sara's first priority would be to collate a detailed list of Mitsubishi workers and their situations.
Employment, Training and Further Education Minister Paul Caica said one-on-one interviews and planning sessions were completed last week with 670 workers who registered with the Transition Advisory Service.
