On 25 March 2015, Chandler Macleod launched the Indigenous Apprenticeships Programme on behalf of the Department of Human Services and partnering with Federal Government Agencies.

The Indigenous Apprenticeships Programme has been developed for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islanders to provide a tailored approach to learning, based on academic and cultural requirements. The programme is looking for enthusiastic, motivated Indigenous Australians with an interest in contributing to the Australian Public Service. The programme will provide full-time entry level positions, competitive salaries and a nationally recognised certificate or diploma qualification.

Apprenticeships will be offered throughout Australia, and include the opportunity to study:

  • policy and program development
  • service delivery
  • administration
  • technical or engineering.

If you know of anyone who might be interested in the Indigenous Apprenticeships Programme or would like more information, please visit the website.
