Industry leaders joined together to create greater employment opportunities for First Nations Australians at our round table event.
Hosted in partnership with the Alcoa Foundation, this event demonstrated to employers how our Plan 2day 4 2morrow (P242) Employment Program can support organisations in providing meaningful job opportunities and building genuine relationships in local communities.
The discussion was facilitated by Waalitj Foundation staff, Hayden, Ben and Sandy. Our team led the conversation in acknowledging the complexities and challenges faced by First Nations jobseekers and how organisations can work to improve employment outcomes.
Representatives from a range of industries attended the event including Alcoa, Kmart Group, Thrive Integration, Georgiou Group Pty Ltd, Connect group, Buru Rehab, Western Power, Goldfields, Eastern Guruma, NES Fircroft Australia Pty Ltd.
Our Head of Employment Programs, Hayden said “It’s inspiring to see organisations committed to creating meaningful change. A core focus of our program is partnering with employers to build culturally safe workplaces and deliver sustainable outcomes for jobseekers.”
Our mission is to create meaningful opportunities for First Nations Peoples. One of the ways we work towards this goal is through our P242 Round Table events, which brings together employers, industry leaders, and community partners to collaborate on employment solutions.
