West Arnhem Regional Council Workforce Development - West Arnhem Region
West Arnhem Regional Council (WARC) is one of the largest employers in the West Arnhem region, with more than 230 employees. Of these, 60% identify as First Nation peoples. The five WARC communities targeted for delivery in this project include Minjilang (Croker Island), Warruwi (South Goulburn Island), Jabiru, Gunbalanya and Maningrida.
WARC provides a range of local government services across all five communities including road maintenance and repair, parks and gardens maintenance, sport and recreation services, access to Centrelink, community care programs, creche services, and other services on behalf of government agencies. Due to the remoteness of these communities, WARC takes on many of the roles of municipal councils.
The Council's strategic aim is to support the employment of local Indigenous people rather than rely on fly-in, fly-out workers. The FSfYF training will form part of the WARC Learning and Development Framework.
This project will run until May 2024.
