Employment and Training
|
The Aboriginal Communities Development Program (ACDP) is committed to providing training and employment opportunities for Aboriginal people in the communities in which it is being implemented.
By working on ACDP projects and gaining both formal and on-the-job training, communities increase their self esteem as well as gaining the skills to maintain their assets into the future.
The Aboriginal Communities Development Program Employment and Training Strategy sets out the following mandatory principles:
- Project Managers must explore all possibilities of including local Aboriginal community members in every aspect of employment & training opportunities offered through their contracts
- Project Managers must consider using the local Aboriginal registered trades' people or organisations such as the CDEP for maintenance and major capital works.
- In situations where the employment of local Aboriginal trades people is not achievable, Project Managers must explore the possibilities of canvassing other Aboriginal organisations or communities in towns within the area.
