230 jobs in 90 minutes for Indigenous Australians | Minister for Indigenous Affairs

Two hundred and thirty job pledges for Indigenous Australians were received from 16 employers in just 90 minutes at a breakfast at the Marist Youth Care Vocational Training and Employment Centre (VTEC), part of the Australian Government's innovative VTEC initiative. Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Nigel Scullion, said the 230 pledges at the breakfast far exceeded the aim of obtaining 90 pledges for Indigenous job seekers to be trained and placed into jobs through the Marist Youth Care VTEC in Sydney's Blacktown. Indigenous employment is one of the Australian Government's top priorities in Indigenous Affairs and getting Indigenous job seekers into ongoing employment is critical to reducing Indigenous disadvantage.
