Wunan Pathways is committed to providing innovative long-term solutions in education, training, employment and leadership for Aboriginal people in the East Kimberley. Wunan Pathways’ programs aim to support young people to transition directly into real jobs, return to formal education, or get ‘school ready’.
Current Wunan Pathways programs include:
| — |
Local Community Partnerships: working to increase the number of young Aboriginal people transitioning directly from school to work, and encouraging local employers to become actively involved. |
| — |
Employment Services: designing flexible training solutions to increase ‘employability skills’, and providing post placement support, including counselling, financial planning, self-esteem building, skills development, accommodation to achieve sustained employment outcomes. |
| — |
Connections: working with disengaged young people to build numeracy and literacy, life skills and work skills, in an environment which offers an alternative to mainstream education. |
Fortunately, our research shows that there are good long term job opportunities across the East Kimberley region and in 2007/08 we will be introducing additional programs to support Aboriginal people in taking up these opportunities, including:
| — |
Strong Start: a school readiness program offering children and their families support such as early reading, housing coordination and other practical assistance to ensure kids are ‘school ready’. |
Through these programs Wunan Pathways will support Aboriginal people in the East Kimberley to take advantage of current and future opportunities and have choice and control in their lives.
