Creating Indigenous Futures

Creating Indigenous Futures has been developed to address a recognised need for alternative arrangements for disengaged Indigenous young people.  The program aims to provide a supportive environment in which Indigenous young people choose to access further studies, training and employment. 

Creating Indigenous Futures offers participants a diverse full-time alternative education program developed by Nungalinya College Incorporated in partnership with local Registered Training Organisations, education providers and support agencies.   The program consists of learning program incorporating enterprise initiatives and personal support.  This holistic approach to a young person’s development assists to identify and address both the educational and social barriers young Indigenous people are experiencing and that restrict effective participation in mainstream education, training and employment. 

The program is offered to Indigenous young people in the Darwin and Palmerston area aged 16 to 19 years.  The young people have been disengaged from mainstream education, training or employment and are often referred from agencies including Correctional Services, Diversion, Job Network and Alternative Education Provision (DET).

 Upon completion off the program participants will be able to:

  • make an informed decision about their future
  • define own education, training or employment pathway
  • confidently progress to further studies or training
  • participate in an entry level employment program
  • develop basic employability skills
  • be more competitive in the local labour market
  • contribute to own self sufficiency through continued involvement in a business enterprise
  • resolve personal issues in a positive manner
