I agree with the comments above. Perhaps this could be used as an opportunity to get experience in an industry that they have not previously worked in but would like to. Not only would they be using their skills but they would also be "testing the waters" to see if they really would like to move into that industry.
Another idea would be to contact any business or professional associations i.e. AHRI, AIM, AIPF, CMI etc and volunteer their time on the local chapters leadership team or organising committee. This way they will be keeping themselves busy and also staying current as to what is happening in the market place. If you friend is based in Qld, they can contact me and I will be happy to introduce them to some people that may appreciate assistance of this kind.
