Remote Training Hubs support Central Australian First Nations peoples access On-Country vocational education and training. The hubs will help to ensure training meets community needs matched to local jobs.
On-Country training
The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, the National Indigenous Australians Agency and the Northern Territory Government are working in partnership with Central Australian Aboriginal people to establish up to 7 Remote Training Hubs across Central Australia.
The training hubs will:
- connect you with training for skills needed On-Country
- assist with transport between locations
- engage mentors to help you connect your training with a local job.
Informed by community consultation and partnerships
The development of the Remote Training Hubs has been informed by community consultation undertaken by the Office of Central Australian Regional Controller and guided by the Central Australian Plan Aboriginal Leadership Group. Partnerships, consultation, and planning are underway to set up the first 2 training hubs in Yuendumu and Ntaria by 2025. The remaining training hub locations will be identified following further community engagement.
A better, safer future for Central Australia
The Remote Training Hubs were announced by the Prime Minister on 13 February 2024, under Phase Two of the plan for A better, safer future for Central Australia. The Australian Government is investing $30.2 million over five years to create opportunities for the people in Central Australia, support job creation and improve On-Country learning.
