Grassroots Action Palmerston Aboriginal Corporation
The Grassroots Youth Engagement Program is a grassroots Aboriginal-led initiative improving employment opportunities for at-risk young people in the Palmerston community.
Initiated by local Elder Serena Dalton, the program has partnered with local business to employ young people in a supported environment, with the aim of increasing the young people’s confidence and employability.
The program is engaging young people most at risk of falling through the cracks – including young people who have been involved in the youth justice system. These are young people who have felt that a job is out of reach for them, who might have felt that they wouldn’t be able to fit into the workforce – despite their motivation to work.
The program provides young people with cultural security through wrap-around mentoring support and cultural activities.

Ignite Potential-Onboarding and Mentoring for Migrants
Funded by the Office of Multicultural Affairs, this program aims to make migrant integration faster leading to positive employment outcomes.
The classroom sessions involved activity-based learning where the participants were coached to build their personal brand and made to independently talk about their personal branding. The participants learnt how to create their resumes and cover letters for specific job applications and picked up skills in answering interview questions. Role plays were conducted among participants to understand face-to-face interviews and to practice speaking at interviews. Common errors were corrected, and suggestions were made to improve quality of responses and on how to win an interview.
A holistic understanding of Australian qualifications and Australian workplace culture was given to the participants and suggestions were made on courses to study or jobs that are in demand. Questions regarding these topics were answered keeping in mind the multicultural workforce of Australia and how the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse people can fit into the ever changing and demanding job roles. The participants understood how Northern Territory and the city of Darwin is different from other cities in Australia and the importance effective networking, developing self-confidence, interview preparations, entrepreneurship, volunteering, etc.
The participants were given to understand Fair Work and the basic work rights for migrants. Practical insights were given, and myth busters videos were played to them to give a holistic understanding of work rights.
On the completion of the classroom session, participants were put on to a virtual “Cultural Competence” training conducted by SBS. This training provides valuable insights into the Australian work culture and practices, cultural diversity, unconscious bias and how to avoid them, embracing culture change and settling in a workplace that is linguistically and culturally diverse.
