Overview
Improving educational
outcomes and sustainable
employment pathways
"Take care of your children, take a job when you find one, create a safe environment, and send your kids to school."
(The Hon Julia Gillard MP, Prime Minister of Australia, 2011).
However, effective education and sustainable employment can be much more complex and challenging for many Indigenous Australians who feel culturally isolated and unsupported in these areas.
Despite improvements in Indigenous literacy, education and employment the government is failing to meet 4 out of the 6 'Closing the Gap' targets. These 4 focus on increasing Indigenous educational attainment and employment.
In acknowledging that the national priority of 'Closing the Gap' on living standards needs to be more than statements of intent, educational leaders are pushing for reform against age-old strategies for Indigenous education that simply do not work.
The 2nd Annual Indigenous Education, Transitions & Employment Conference will drive deeper into challenges associated with school attendance, student performance and effective transitioning into work or post-school study.
Offering a range of innovative and progressive strategies that move away from traditional models, you will be privy to some of the nation's leading thinkers in education and employment, and their strategies tailored to Indigenous people.
Comprising a national forum of experts spanning the education, training, transitions and employment sectors you will take away the latest methods on how to improve Indigenous educational outcomes which translate to meaningful, sustainable employment.
Gain insights into:
- How to increase engagement, motivation and aspiration for sustainable post-school pathways
- Flexible tertiary and vocational education and training pathways to increase employability
- Employers with long term Indigenous employment frameworks
- Mentoring and role model strategies that embed the value of education and sustainable choices
