The Education Engagement and Attainment Initiative (EEAI) is a community-driven strategy that empowers local people to support families in taking an active role in their children’s education. By fostering stronger family involvement, the initiative helps students reach their full potential and gain greater access to future opportunities.

The Community Development Program (CDP) offers intensive case management to support unemployed Aboriginal people. It creates employment pathways by helping participants build employability skills and attain meaningful qualifications through structured activities that enhance job readiness and increase employment prospects.

This includes addressing both vocational and non-vocational barriers and collaborating with relevant service providers and mentors to support ongoing activity engagement and prepare participants to be job-ready for future employment.

Please note: This position is located in the Santa Teresa Community approx. 85kms from Alice Springs and will require some travel to Alice Springs and other communities with basic accommodation provided. Applicants will be required to hold a valid full NT Driver Licence.
