Indigenous Employment Program
Jobs Australia Midland
has a long and successful history of working with
local business to source suitable staff, and of working in the
community to assist unemployed people find and retain jobs.
Through our membership of the Indigenous
Employment Panel, we have been successful in sourcing funds to
deliver a local Aboriginal Employment Project. This project
has been tailored by us to meet local needs – the needs of
Aboriginal people who want sustainable jobs, and the needs of
business – who need skilled and motivated staff who understand
employer expectations.
In a tight labour market, with skills
shortages impacting now and projections indicating more to come, it
makes sense to put in place strategies for the future. This
project could well be one of those strategies for your business.
The project is coordinated by Karen Kickett –
a well respected Aboriginal woman with many years experience working
across all sections of the community.
We will provide support and assistance to
business to encourage them to offer job opportunities to Aboriginal
people including:
- Assisting business access wage subsidies; establish trainee or apprenticeships, or offer other incentives
- Providing ongoing mentoring and support
to employers and employees to encourage long term employment.
- Offering cross cultural awareness
workshops to businesses and their staff.
- Assisting businesses implement realistic
strategies to underpin their Indigenous Employment Policies,
particularly those contracting to the government, mining and
resource sectors.
- Ensuring employees have an understanding
of employer needs through their participation in employment
preparation training.
- Arranging and funding pre-employment
accredited and non accredited vocational skills training.
- Arranging and funding licences such as
White Card; Responsible Service of Alcohol; Working with
Children checks etc.
- Matching job opportunities with the
employees goals – so that you will be referred people who want
to work in your sector.
