Employment Disadvantaged Pathways Project
What are we doing?
The Employment Disadvantaged Pathways Project was established to assist employment disadvantaged Territorians to compete in the labour market through better access to information.
On behalf of the Department of Education and Training (DET), KPMG is mapping services and programs available to assist employment disadvantaged people to access training and labour market opportunities. KPMG will also recommend an information/knowledge management framework to maintain the information.
KPMG will talk to NT employment service providers to understand what services they provide, who they provide services to and to gain their views on how to increase access to information about employment services in the NT.
Who are employment disadvantaged groups?
The project will focus on the employment services provided to:
- Young people (aged 15-24 years)
- People from non-English speaking backgrounds
- People with a disability
- Women
- Indigenous people
- Long term unemployed (52 weeks+)
- People with a criminal record
- Mature aged (45+ years)
- Parents returning to work
How can you participate?
Have your say...
KPMG are coming to your region in May 2007 to talk to service providers in the employment and training sector and service users to seek your views on employment services for disadvantaged Territorians. They will be seeking information on what services are available, who the services are delivered to and whether they meet client needs.
There will be two sessions in each region, one for service providers and one for service users, see below for details.
