New Careers for Aboriginal People South Western &Western Sydney. 2.54

The NSW Government is committed to supporting strong Aboriginal communities in which
Aboriginal people actively influence and fully participate in social, economic and cultural life. The
National Partnership Agreement on Indigenous Economic Participation commits the NSW
Government to work with the Commonwealth to ‘halve the gap in employment outcomes
between Indigenous and other Australians by 2018.
The New Careers for Aboriginal People (NCAP) Program supports this strategic direction by
assisting Aboriginal people to access education and training pathways and employment.
The Programs goals and outcomes are aligned with the NSW government goals and future
directions and the core business of the NSW Department of Education and Communities.
