By working together, Indigenous communities, other Indigenous organisations, government, industry and training organisations can identify, create and improve employment and training opportunities for local Indigenous people.
The Queensland Government employs Indigenous Employment and Training Managers (IETMs) to help make this happen.
Would you like to know more about your career opportunities as an Indigenous Person? Please call 1300 369 925 or email your local Indigenous Employment and Training Manager for more information:

The Queensland Government can help liaise with key stakeholders to negotiate appropriate employment and training opportunities, and develop ways to bring local employers, government and non-government agencies together to make plans work.
Support for Indigenous Apprentices and Trainees
The Queensland Government employs Indigenous Employment and Training Support Officers (IETSOs) to support and mentor Indigenous Apprentices and Trainees, helping them complete their training and stay in the workforce.
IETSOs are available to provide culturally appropriate, one-to-one mentoring, and can also help employers become more aware of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders cultural responsibilities and protocols.
