Enabling sustainable careers for remote Aboriginal Communities
Employment levels within remote Aboriginal communities are significantly lower than towns and cities across Australia, resulting in conditions of abject poverty that compound with a range of social issues into a cycle that needs to be disrupted. While government and industry set objectives for Indigenous employment and economic empowerment, a holistic approach is needed to truly set the conditions for individuals to achieve sustainable, long-term employment and for communities to achieve a critical mass of employment for lasting social change.
Our why and how
Our mission is to create a critical mass of sustainable employment within remote Aboriginal communities that can result in lasting social change.
​
How we achieve this:​
​
-
Adult training in literacy, numeracy and basic IT skills to assist with employment.
-
Use regional construction projects to create perpetual pipelines of training, licensing and job placement.
-
Career mentoring
