PRODUCTIVITY PLACES PROGRAM
Productivity Places Program (PPP) is a joint Australian and Northern Territory government program funded by the Department of Education and Training (DET) and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR). Productivity Places Program aims to:
Assist job seekers to acquire skills and gain lasting employment and assist existing workers to update or upgrade their skills. Funding is provided to registered training organisations to deliver qualifications in a range of industries and levels. Industry can benefit from the program by:
- Up-skilling existing employees;
- Re-skilling existing employees;
- Providing a formal training pathway for people who have worked in an industry for a number of years but do not hold a qualification; and
- Employing job seekers who have gained industry qualifications through PPP.

EMPLOYER CULTURAL AWARENESS BREAKFAST
CHARTTES Training Advisory Council provided sponsorship and support for a breakfast forum for Territory employers, promoting and raising awareness of the remarkable contributions people from refugee and culturally diverse backgrounds can make to local businesses and the Territory's economy, was held in early September by the Melaleuca Refugee Centre and the Chamber of Commerce NT, supported by key stakeholders.
Guest speakers from refugee backgrounds delivered inspiring first hand accounts of how sustainable employment had changed their lives, while local employers shared their success stories, highlighting the financial, social and personal gains of employing people from refugee backgrounds.
The breakfast forum aimed to break down the barriers that make employers unwilling or unable to employ people from refugee backgrounds. Resource packs were developed and distributed at the breakfast, containing support material for employers interested in employing people of refugee and culturally diverse backgrounds.
The forum was a great success with an encouraging turnout of prospective employers and resulted in a number of real job opportunities for members of the refugee community in Darwin.
The resource packs are available by contacting Melaleuca Refugee Centre on (08) 8985 3311.
