Even as Australia’s talent landscape continues to experience uncertainty, with the skills shortage continuing to affect the market, a trend is emerging; the increased competition for Entry-Level talent, both Graduate and unqualified. This trend is expected to continue as companies increasingly recognise the necessity of investing in new talent to counteract the prevailing skills shortage and combat tightening budgets.
A positive outcome of this has been the increased demand for First Nations representation, with almost every Graduate and Entry-Level program dedicating focus on Indigenous talent. However, beneath the well-meaning desire, the overwhelming majority of these programs are failing to achieve meaningful representation, with most 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝟯.𝟴%).
Yet with a median age of 24 years, the future of First Nations representation in our workforce has never been brighter. By offering employment opportunities and educational sponsorships, this offers an opportunity to not only address the immediate skills shortage, but contribute to closing the gap on First Nations disadvantage.
