Business Leaders Dinner with Andrew Forrest

Here is an excellent networking opportunity that you might be interested in attending. The Australian Employment Covenant (AEC) is hosting a dinner with guest speaker Andrew Forrest (CEO of Fortescue Metals Group Ltd and Chairman of AEC) to discuss the challenges and opportunities of Indigenous employment for Queensland industry.

The AEC is an initiative aimed at securing 50,000 sustainable jobs for Indigenous Australians. Backed by a three-way commitment between Australian Employers, the Australian Government and Indigenous people, this landmark initiative seeks to break the vicious cycle of unemployment and poverty amongst Indigenous Australians by adopting a “learn or earn policy” for all those who have the capacity to work.

This policy will see 50,000 Indigenous Australians receive training tailored to meet employers' specifications, creating clear and encouraging outcomes for Indigenous training programs. In addition, 50,000 workplace mentors will provide much needed support to each Indigenous Australian as they continually develop in their new role.

The AEC represents a major commitment to the future of Indigenous Australians by providing those prepared to work with a clear pathway to employment and the ability to reach their full potential.
