Employment and training
The Alinytjara Wilurara Landscape Board is committed to increasing Aboriginal employment, training and engagement outcomes within our programs.
To better engage Anangu community members in work on Country in the AW region, the Board:
- contributes to the economic development of the communities we work in and, whenever possible, uses local resources
- provides skills development through training and mentoring, where/if capacity is limited
- supports land management work by overseeing contract-based employment.
