Training to Employment (T2E) Programme

Strategic overview

The ILC’s Training to Employment Programme (T2E) has a target of providing accredited, enterprise-based training for up to 250 Indigenous Australians each year in the agriculture and tourism industries and guarantees an offer of employment for all graduates. A further 100 new employment positions at Ayers Rock Resort per year also form part of the overall T2E target.

T2E has two key areas of focus:

• T2E Tourism is the Voyages-operated tourism businesses at Ayers Rock Resort (NT), the Mossman Gorge Centre (QLD) and Home Valley Station (WA); and

• T2E Agriculture is the 14 ILC-operated agricultural businesses and the Merriman Shearing School in Western New South Wales.

Key elements of T2E include:

• Enterprise-based training delivered on business properties as part of the business operations, with Registered Training Organisations providing accredited training and skills recognised industry wide.

• Life skills are incorporated into residential programmes including language, literacy and numeracy, mentoring and support to assist trainees overcome barriers to engaging with industry and undertaking employment.

• Guaranteed job offer for all graduates either with the ILC or another employer.

• Partnerships and support are gained through engaging families, communities, industry and government.

Governance

The T2E programme is oversighted by the Land Acquisition, Management, Business, Employment and Training (LAMBET) committee. LAMBET comprises Directors Westbury and Atkinson, and external advisors.
