Hope Vale, Queensland Sample Clauses

Hope Vale, Queensland. 1.4. Indigenous Employment‌‌ The NPARIH set an Indigenous employment target of 20 per cent during construction, over the life of the NPARIH. All states and the Northern Territory have consistently achieved or exceeded this target. The Northern Territory also set Indigenous employment targets of 40 per cent for property management and 50 per cent for tenancy management and has exceeded these targets. Government procurement processes were reviewed to ensure there were no unintended barriers to achieving the Indigenous employment outcomes under the NPARIH. While not a NPARIH specific responsibility, the challenge in all jurisdictions is to ensure the focus on recruiting and retaining Indigenous people into ongoing employment is maintained where jobs and enterprise development opportunities are available. This might include opportunities in emerging property and tenancy management jobs within communities or outside communities, with employers based locally or in regional towns and cities. Employment service providers contracted under the Commonwealth Government’s new Remote Jobs and Communities Program (RJCP) can play an important role in ensuring that local Indigenous people, who gained valuable skills and experience on NPARIH construction work, are able to transition into other job opportunities either in their communities or in other locations.
