Indigenous Leadership Network - Mentoring

The Indigenous Leadership Network Victoria in partnership with Aboriginal Affairs Victoria are working on establishing a mentor bank. The mentor bank is being developed in accordance with the recommendations made by Victorian Aboriginal Economic Group in the report Moonda Wurrin Gree Pathways to a Better Economic Future. The mentor bank will grow the pool of trained and culturally competent mentors and leaders available to support Aboriginal people to reach their aspirations.

The mentor bank seeks to engage Aboriginal people from a wide range of backgrounds and who are able to guide and support Aboriginal people in areas such as, but not limited to, businesses, workforce participation and transition from schooling to further education, training or employment.

Training Sessions are being conducted by The Australian Indigenous Leadership Centre

More information can be found on the Indigenous Leadership Network Victoria website.

The Victorian Department of Planning and Community Development also has some information about the mentor bank on their web site on their Wayaperri - Leadership Initiative page.
