Curtin University’s Carrolup Centre for Truth-Telling receives funding boost

20/5/2022

 
Picture
The Carrolup Centre for Truth-Telling, which will provide a permanent home for precious artworks created by children of the Stolen Generation, has received a $1.7m funding boost through Lotterywest.
More than 120 pieces, known as The Herbert Mayer Collection of Carrolup Artwork, were created by Aboriginal children detained at the Carrolup Native Settlement near Katanning before it closed in 1949. The collection spent several decades overseas until a visiting Australian professor recognised the artwork at Colgate University in New York. The university repatriated the artwork back to Australia in 2013 after consulting with local Noongar elders.
A new home for the artworks on Curtin University's Bentley campus will be accompanied by associated programs of education and community engagement around Stolen Generations' history and lived experience.

Life Experience campaign aims to increase workforce participation

5/5/2022

 
Picture
The State Government has launched a new 'Life Experience' campaign, which aims to encourage Western Australians to develop the skills and confidence they need to successfully participate in the workforce. The campaign highlights the value of life skills and experience in the workplace, while promoting the training, career and employment support that is available through WA's Jobs and Skills Centres.

The targeted campaign to increase participation among people from groups who are under-represented in the WA workforce is part of a series of post-Skills Summit initiatives announced in August 2021 to attract and retain skilled workers in WA.

The campaign targets participation in vocational education and training and the WA workforce by women, mature age workers and retirees re-entering the workforce, youth at risk, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people from culturally diverse backgrounds and people with disability.
