Increasing Indigenous economic opportunity: a discussion paper on the future of the CDEP and Indigenous Employment Programs
This discussion paper looks at how individuals, businesses, communities and partnerships must be involved to lift Indigenous employment rates. It builds on the principle that improved universal employment services and training places are essential for sustained economic development.
The paper also looks at how employers of Indigenous workers can be better supported, building on the success of the Structure Training and Development Program (STEP) and Structured Training and Employment Projects Related Services (STEPERS) programs.
The Australian Government will hold consultations on the discussion paper across the country in capital cities, regional centres and remote communities.
