Over the past four years, Kimberley Training Institute (KTI) has delivered an innovative Conservation and Land Management (CLM) training program to Aboriginal rangers in remote areas of the Kimberley.
Over the past 18 months KTI has successfully used Workplace English Language and Literacy (WELL) funding to assist rangers in developing their literacy and numeracy skills,
resulting in improved completions of Traineeships, progressions to higher level qualifications, and increased employment opportunities.
Further one-on-one tutoring support is provided by KTI lecturers under the Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS).
This program is a great example of co-delivery between LLN specialist and vocational lecturers. KTI is currently in the running for the Premiers Award.
Good luck!
I love this Chantal! So exciting that it is in the running for the Premier’s Award. When I read this and saw the images I was reminded on Ruth Wallace’s (http://www.ehs.cdu.edu.au/education/staff/r_wallace/) presentation at the WAALC conference and of the work she and her team have done with rangers in the NT http://www.cdu.edu.au/centres/spill/e-backpackRangers/
