Indigenous school-to-work project

Young Indigenous Australians confront a range of barriers which prevent them from participating successfully in education and employment systems.

A partnership between the Indigenous community, industry leaders and eight regional schools in the Mooroopna/Shepparton district is working to address this.

The partnership has local business and schools working together to create opportunities for young people to either remain in school or access work experience to assist them to gain meaningful employment in their community.

The project is funded by VicHealth and managed by Ganbina Koorie Economic Employment Training Agency. Ganbina is a word from the Yorta Yorta language meaning to awake or arise.
