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.
