Objective
This project aims to provide a systemic understanding of effective pathways to work and enterprise in remote Australia, identifying the factors that support transitions into sustainable employment and the barriers to effective transitions. It will compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of existing approaches in securing sustainable employment outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people; and document Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander job seekers’ perspectives about effective supports for successful employment transitions. The impact from the project will be removal of existing barriers and newly designed pathways to work and enterprise in remote Australia that are client focused.
The Pathways to Employment project is being developed and more information will be available soon.
