Purpose of the Research

VAEAI is highly focussed on working in partnership with organisations both government and private sector, which seek to provide growth in the participation rates of Koories within the employment and education sectors.

In particular, VAEAI has a strong commitment to fostering positive working relationships with organisations and networks, which provide supportive learning environments that include strategies and policies which embrace appropriate Koorie cultural protocols and reinforce Koorie identity.

Currently there is insufficient research available in Victoria and nationally which seeks to identify and analyse the participation rates of Aboriginal people in the education sector and the impact this has on the overall employment rates. Given this, the purpose of this research is to provide an overview of the participation rates of Koories aged between 15-65 years in secondary and tertiary education, TAFE programs and various sectors of the workforce.
