Deadly2Develop Program has been tailored to connect Indigenous job seekers with the community and local Elders. This program is delivered in a flexible learning environment and provides a traditional approach using art, music, storytelling, dance and experience. This wrap-around support assists with improving job seekers motivation, employability and foundation skills.
With a traditional approach, using art, music, stories, dance and experience the job seekers get the opportunity to connect with local Elders and community networks. Support groups are also available to assist job seekers towards their desired outcomes. This program addresses the following:
- Understand the job seeker culture and language needs
- Build community engagement
- Understand the job seeker skills and goals (e.g. dreams, ideas for work, where they want to live, kind of person they want to become, what barriers they are facing)
We work closely with local Elders and community leaders to ensure mentoring services are available to our job seekers and staff. The Elders and community leaders use traditional approaches to support and guide our job seekers and staff including:
- Social and emotional wellbeing mentoring
- Cultural mentoring
- Education, training and employment mentoring
We work with communities, professionals and businesses to build cultural awareness and develop jobs tailored to our job seekers needs. Please contact us to learn how we can add value to your business, particularly in the way that we contribute to changing attitudes towards diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
