Program Overview

There are complex challenges in improving pathways for remote Australians through education and training to employment and enterprise development. Soft-systems approaches linked with the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework will be used to interpret the complex factors leading to chronic educational and employment disadvantage.

Outputs

The outputs of the Investing in People program will include:

  • An assessment of the interrelationships and interplay between health, wellbeing, education and employment, including the effectiveness of targeted interventions
  • Systemic understanding of effective pathways to work and enterprise
  • Education models that identify strategic interventions and strategies to improve the remote education system
  • At least 7 post-graduate students; 20 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people trained as paid field researchers, 5 honours, VET or vacation students.
