GenerationOne is a movement to bring ALL Australians together to end
the disparity between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians
in one generation - our generation
GenerationOne joined up with DEEWR's Mobile-Try-A-Trade in the West Kimberley last week. Mobile Try a Trade is an initiative of the National Disability Coordination Officer Program (NDCO), and both the NDCO program and Mobile Try a Trade are DEEWR (Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations) funded programs.
The project is a DEEWR initiative and involves a team of skilled trades' men and women and support staff, travelling around regional and remote areas of Northern Western Australia to promote career pathways in industries experiencing skills shortages in regional Western Australia.
Just a quick update to let you know that GenerationOne has now received letters from the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, the Leader of the Opposition, Tony Abbott, and the Leader of the Australian Greens, Bob Brown in response to our letter of 4 August, proposing industry specific training and employment for Indigenous Australians.
