Looking Forward

A new partnership with Lend Lease will see the first Indigenous Excellence Hub established on site at the Barangaroo development in the Sydney CBD. The NCIE will be able to tender for a section of the Sydney tender of approximately 400 jobs.

The ongoing development of the Koori Job Ready Programme and its growth into a job services provider and labour hire business will scale up the impact and value of the programme in the employment and training space.

Pathway partnerships will continue to be developed to build on the success of collaborating on the co-delivery of programmes such as Tutor School, Careers and Aspirations Programme and the Job Ready Juniors programme currently in development.

The Cultural Engagement Training Enterprise will be launched in 2014–15 and has many clients pre-committing to purchasing the product. The IDX Hub will officially launch and see the continued development of Indigenous Digital Excellence with the annual $1m investments over five years from the Telstra Foundation.
