The labour market place in WA gives unparalleled opportunities for Indigenous employment and aboriginal jobs, where people can train, develop skills and take up function opportunities in Western Australia. Employers in WA recognise that indigenous Australians, quite a few of them in communities close to huge mining and resources projects in WA, can help to alleviate the skilled labour crisis confronting significant employers.
Most of the major employers in regional Western Australia, with support from the WA State Government, have introduced dedicated indigenous training, education and employment programs to help alleviate the skills shortage too as present much-needed economic and employment rewards to disadvantaged local communities.
Other comparable programs have already been launched (see below), with further programs within the preparing stages by significant employer groups too as the WA and Federal Government.
