“I couldn’t be prouder of the way he went about his work with us.”
This is the impression Solid Futures graduate Taadjiduk Marsden-Coyne made on his supervisor Rachael Duffield from the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation’s Albany office.
Taadj’s hard work (and the support from Rachael and other staff) delivered 2 fantastic results in June – he graduated from the 12 month traineeship program and stepped into a permanent job as natural resource management assistant.
“One of the great things for Solid Futures trainees here is that they get out from behind the desk and go on the ground where they connect directly to country,” Rachael says.
“The Certificate III in Government gives trainees really important learning and knowledge, and that adds value to the existing on country knowledge – they go hand in hand very well.”
For Taadj, Solid Futures is an excellent platform from which to jump into the public sector.
“It’s a great starting point and you’re exposed to a lot of other opportunities. I’ve moved from Solid Futures to the department and I’ve been learning a whole lot, which is really good,” he says.
The Commission pays all salary and training costs for trainees, and our Aboriginal Employment team works with agencies to support trainees to succeed.
Applications are now open for agencies to host trainees in 2024 – get them in by Monday 2 October!
