By the end of this year 5,000 Indigenous men and women will have been trained through the VTECs, taking up real jobs and ending the history of keeping our First Australians out of sight and out of mind through meaningless activity. VTECs have been set up to support and to employ Indigenous job seekers in employment in all the regions, particularly the South Coast of New South Wales, the Kimberley, the Pilbara, North and Central Queensland, the Hunter region and capital cities. Very few areas in Australia will remain untouched by this new way of doing business to end the appalling disparity suffered by Indigenous Australians for far too long.
