BENEFITS FOR
ABORIGINAL PEOPLE
The Academy aims to provide opportunities, programmes, and support to Aboriginal people that lead to meaningful employment.
The Academy provides a culturally safe environment for local people to seek options and create a pathway to employment in the Resources industry.
Aboriginal people from a range of backgrounds are welcome – school students, those looking to develop their career, people wanting to upskill, and people with no previous experience in the sector.
The services are free for Aboriginal people.
BENEFITS FOR
RESOURCE COMPANIES
Resource companies can improve employment and retention of Aboriginal employees through accessing the Academy’s services. We work with your team to customise a programme aimed at increasing Aboriginal employment, improving retention and creating a culturally competent workplace.
Resource companies benefit from the Academy’s cultural awareness and draw from the team’s extensive experience working with Aboriginal employees.
Our guidance and mentoring services provide best practice guidelines to keep things on track. Our mentors have the experience, temperament and ability to create better communication and engagement, ensuring the right pathway for each situation and opportunity.
BENEFITS THROUGH
PARTNERSHIPS & RELATIONSHIPS
The Academy uses strong relationships with Resource companies, training and education providers and local agencies to provide services that benefit the local Aboriginal community.
The Academy has a Memorandum of Understanding with Curtin University. Both parties are focused on collaboration, working together to provide programmes and opportunities to Aboriginal people that develop pathways into university and inspire the future Indigenous workforce.
