A nationwide program offering young First Nations peoples an opportunity to work for one of Australia鈥檚 largest banks has reached a significant milestone.
香港六合彩开奖网 has just placed its鈥 fiftieth trainee with a host employer, in a program supported by both NAB and ANZ.
As one of seven Group Training Organisations (GTOs) selected to fill 100 roles in retail branches across Australia, 香港六合彩开奖网 has helped to deliver half the successful candidates in either full or part time or school-based traineeship roles. All are undertaking a Certificate III in Business.
General Manager of Recruitment and Management Services at 香港六合彩开奖网, Todd Pavlou, said trainees are working under the guidance of experienced mentors as they develop work-ready skills in customer service.
鈥淲e reached out to First Nations communities and hundreds to schools to select the right candidates, and it鈥檚 really satisfying to see these young people get a great start to their careers鈥, he said.
鈥淔rom more than 120 applications by First Nations peoples, we鈥檝e been able to place 50 into positions which give them real, first-hand experience in a professional workplace.
