Central to community sustainability is employment and economic development.

Ramahyuck delivers of a suite of community enterprise and engagement programs covering the key areas of economic development, community development and support, and cultural heritage and development

Ramahyuck’s key goals in this area to:

• establish a range of self sustaining enterprises utilising the organisation’s assets which provide employment opportunities for the community; and
• improve the quality of life for the community through fostering and strengthening our commitment to practical reconciliation between the wider community and the Koori community.

Our skills development and employment programs include tree propagation and joinery, lawn mowing and garden maintenance business, wood cutting and supply, and a school bus service for Koori children and are providing needed training and employment opportunities for the community. Each year CDEP trainees ‘graduate’ into full-time employment in the mainstream community.

First and foremost, our focus is on providing employment opportunities for the Indigenous community. Our longer term strategy is to develop and implement programs in corporate training and skills development that contribute to the financial viability and sustainability of the Ramahyuck District Aboriginal Corporation enterprise.

Our long-term aim is to provide ongoing provide employment opportunities for the Indigenous community through a range of self sustaining enterprises.
