Improved participation in traineeships by Arabic speaking
young people and Arabic speaking employers
The Arabic Speaking Youth Traineeship project trialed
a range of strategies to increase the uptake of traineeships
by young people in Sydney’s Arabic speaking community.
The project aimed to increase the participation of young people
and business owners in traineeship programs in Sydney’s
St George, Bankstown, Granville and Liverpool areas.
One of the project’s key goals was to improve access
for Arabic speaking young people to post-school opportunities
in further education and training and employment. In line
with this goal, the project targetted the training needs
of young people in Years 10-12 in local government high schools
as well as small business owners in four key industry areas
of Information Technology, Business Services (Administration),
Retail, and Tourism and Hospitality.
The project was implemented during 2003-2005 by a steering
committee comprised of representatives from the Department
of Education and Training, TAFE NSW – Southern Sydney
and South Western Sydney Institutes, the Premier's Department
Arabic Youth Partnership Project and community organisations.
