Building First Nations Skills and Training Partnerships

We are working to strengthen partnerships with First Nations communities by creating a nurturing and supportive skills and training sector.

Working together

Together we are building genuine partnerships with First Nations vocational education and training (VET) leaders to ensure First Nations culture is at the core of training delivery for First Nations learners.

Creating opportunities to collaborate and listen to First Nations peoples is crucial to progressing this important work. Across the country, new ways of working are being established between governments and First Nations partner organisations to drive change across the VET sector.

The National Skills Agreement sets out the Commonwealth’s commitment to working with the states and the Coalition of Peaks to establish a nationally networked First Nations VET Policy Partnership, commencing with an Interim Partnership Committee.
