GenerationOne sought to understand and document, existing examples of employers who were supporting the transition of Indigenous Australians from long-term unemployment into sustainable and meaningful employment. Consequently, the report titled Working it out: Case studies of success in transitioning long-term unemployed Indigenous Australians into sustainable employment was developed with consulting support from Social Ventures Australia.

The case studies give unprecedented insight into ways employers can break the cycle of Indigenous unemployment, and at a granular level, how this is working.

Social Ventures Australia CEO, Michael Traill outlines abit more about the case studies:

“Sitting at the heart of participation in the economy is paid employment. Long-term Indigenous unemployment is at an unacceptably high level [17%*] and all the evidence points to the collateral social damage this causes. Understanding the paths to sustained employment is fundamental. Our hope is that the insights from these case studies will shed light on what it takes for those pathways to be created and encourage the kind of partnerships and engagement forward-thinking employers can take that will help them access a talented and loyal workforce and create needed social change.”
