Job and training opportunities

There are currently various programs running to enable indigenous people more chances to enter the workforce. If you are interested please let us know and we can get you started.

For example...
Australian Employment Covenant – the brainchild of Fortescue CEO Andrew Forrest which aims to get 50,000 Indigenous people into jobs and keep them there.
Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, Qantas, Commonwealth Bank, Foxtel, ANZ and National Australia Bank are amongst the participating companies.
It's a big, inspirational plan that depends on a three-way partnership
  • employers guaranteeing jobs for Indigenous Australians
  • the Australian Government meeting its responsibility to get them job-ready
  • Indigenous Australians taking responsibility to take up jobs and stay in them
Indigenous Australians who decide to take this first step can then enrol in a short intensive training course that will get them ready for on-the-job mentoring with a participating employer.
