Our program objectives are simple – help more Indigenous people get jobs as Apprentices or Trainees. Our mentoring program is different because we focus on encouraging, recognizing and promoting achievements in Indigenous employment.
Shakealeg are the leaders in finding and placing young indigenous males and females into apprenticeships and traineeships. Throughout the duration of the apprenticeship or traineeship we offer a mentoring program to help indigenous 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 assistance meets the needs of large corporate organisations.
