Hiya everyone,

Try a Trade is helping to break to cycle of poverty in Western Australian Aboriginal communities. It's a fantastic chance for Aussie Aboriginal teens to consider a trade - something to brighten their futures. You  can make a difference to the lives of Indigenous families and friends - spread the news! You can read more from GenerationOne below:
 
The aim of the Try-A-Trade events is to encourage school age and working age job-seekers from all backgrounds to consider a trade as a way to improve their own lives - and help break the cycle in their communities. The program's job seekers are matched with real mentors and role models, helping them seek new career pathways.

Over the past month, the Try-a-Trade program has been a huge success, visiting five different locations across the NW Kimberley and promoting career pathways in industries experiencing skill shortages. Several young Indigenous school leaders were flagged for future traineeships and careers with organisations such as Rio Tinto and Brolga Developments. Check out GenerationOne's upcoming events.

Even better - you can join! Visit, and learn more here:

The Mobile Try-a-Trade will be visiting Pilbara from September 6 through 10. If you're in the area or know someone that is, check out the events here:http://generationone.org.au/whats-on
email GenerationOne at
info@generationone.org.au if you would like them to attend or promote one of your events.

Hi everyone,

I just joined Generation One –  a new movement for all Australians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to work together on ending the unacceptable disadvantage Indigenous people face. This is a FANTASTIC campaign for jobs, education and opportunity for Indigenous people.

This is a marvellous opportunity to help grow indigenous businesses and change the lives of many young indigenous people! Feel free to join and learn more here:

Now is the time to act! See for yourself:

-In some rural areas, up to 70% of Indigenous students regularly do not attend school.
-Just 33% of Indigenous young people age 18-24 are “earning or learning” compared with 71% of non-Indigenous young people.
-Eight in ten jobless Indigenous people are unable to work, because of illiteracy, alcohol, or other psychological problems.

Thanks so much! Change starts with us. It won't happen overnight. But it won't happen if we do nothing either. Why not start now?
