Indigenous Employment and Skills Strategies in Australia
Innovative ways of working with Indigenous Australians are needed to improve their employment prospects, especially as many work in jobs that are most likely to be impacted by digitalisation and automation in the future. This report considers both quantitative and qualitative data regarding employment, skills, and entrepreneurship opportunities for Indigenous Australians. A number of case studies were undertaken with employment and training providers in the cities of Sydney and Perth to gain insights into the delivery of employment and skills programmes targeted to Indigenous Australians. The report highlights critical success factors to better link Indigenous Australians to high quality jobs while also providing recommendations regarding future employment and skills programming.
Foreword
There are around 38 million Indigenous people across 12 OECD countries. Too often, they face large gaps when looking at economic, employment, and social measures. Improving access to labour market and training opportunities can enable Indigenous people to harness their potential, while building a stronger and more inclusive local economy.
