Strategic Plan
| With the unanimous acceptance of the 2011 to 2014 Strategic Plan, the Board of Indigenous Job Connections welcomed the start of a new, dynamic vision for the organisation.
Once dependent on funding from government agencies to keep employment and training programs operating, Indigenous Job Connections is now looking to the future with a variety of interests and the capacity to better service the needs of indigenous people in their communities. The Strategic Plan sets out in clear detail the goals of the organisation for the next three years.

This plan continues to plot our course away from dependence on government funding and towards diversification,” said IJC Chairman, Tommy Brim. Over arched by a strong Principal Objective, the direction of Indigenous Job Connections is then further defined through 8 goals which incorporate training opportunities, cultural activities, business support and advice and supporting kids’ educations.
Importantly, the Strategic Plan also establishes goals for the long term growth of the organisation. These goals include ensuring that the Board has the expertise to make sound and fair decisions whilst building a stable organisation which is publicly recognised and promoted. The implementation of the new Strategic Plan comes after significant celebrations for the strengthening organisation. In December of last year, every Board member completed 12 months of study to achieve their Certificate IV in Governance qualifications. Vital to the growth and revitalisation of Indigenous Job Connections, this qualification means every Board member has a strong understanding of the complex and broad-ranging operational and strategic complexities of moving the organisation forward. The Board would like to see Indigenous Job Connections become a driving force for the employment and training of Indigenous people in the North and he has many visionary ideas to make this happen. |
