Working Together

The Working Together project funded by the Department of Workforce Training and Development. Its objective is to expand employment, training, work experience and mentorship opportunities for local Aboriginal people by connecting them with local businesses.

Working Together is a dedicated service to provide information, support and advice to business owners and employers in the South West to attract, recruit and retain Aboriginal employees in a culturally safe work environment. Working Together collaborates with local schools, employment service providers (job actives) and the Jobs and Skills Centre.
