Our program objectives are simple – help more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people get jobs as apprentices or trainees. Our programs encourage, recognise and promote career advancements and achievements in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment.
Shake a Leg are the leaders in finding and placing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders into apprenticeships and traineeships. Throughout the duration of the apprenticeship or traineeship we offer a mentoring program to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander apprentices and trainees complete their qualification.
We offer hands-on employment training,
post-placement mentoring, mentoring for employers, cross-cultural training for workplaces and customised regional strategies. Our practical assistance meets the needs of small to large governments and organisations.
