SWALSC is delighted by today's announcement from WA Minister for the Environment, Stephen Dawson MLC, that SWALSC is one of the successful applicants for second round funding from the State's Aboriginal Ranger Program.
This funding will allow SWALSC to continue the paid training partnership with the Parks and Wildlife Service, Western Australia that has created 12 full-time paid traineeships for Noongar people delivered from six locations across Noongar Boodja for a further 16 months.
SWLASC will now enter into a funding agreement with the government and finalise details for the roll-out and employment opportunities for the second round of the program.
The intention is to make an offer to those trainees who are currently employed in the program to continue their training up to Certificate IV level, and to backfill the vacancies created by trainees who have left the program to take on other work or pursue other interests.
As soon as these details are finalised, and the number and locations of the vacancies have been identified, we will advertise the employment opportunities and recruitment process on our Facebook page, here on our webpage, and also in a mail out to all SWALSC members.
