  2. What is the P-Plate Program? The P-Plate Program is designed to provide training and support to young Indigenous Australians, as they enter high school to provide them with the skills, creating a pathway into employment as soon as schooling and training is completed. This program will link in with other organisations and programs that are currently working within the school to ensure that students leaving school have the life skills necessary to be successful in the workplace. Clear pathways to employment will be provided to ensure that those school leavers are provided with strong opportunity to join the workforce.

  3. Aim& Objectives of Program • The identification of career options available to students based on their likes/dislikes. • Throughout Year 8-12 there will be a strong emphasis on career counselling so that students are aware of the options that are available to them and to occupations that suit there particular interests and skills. • Make students work ready through engagement in training whilst at school through School Based Traineeships School Based Apprenticeships Structured Workplace Learning Work Experience • The identification, and the up skilling of Work/Life skills required to succeed in the workforce. • The P Plate Program recognises that much of what it advocates is already in existence in schools today, and is seeking a commitment that Indigenous students are undertaking this training. • To provide a job suitable to the skills/desires of the young person. • To set people up to succeed not fail, by being job ready. • To set a positive example to both younger and older Indigenous people.

  4. P-Plate Program Key Points • This program is for Indigenous students only. • This is not a compulsory program. • AEC jobs cannot be accessed by any other means – they are exclusive to the AEC and its partners. • Students wanting to participate in the program have to sign the student/parent agreement. • Each school to provide an Ambassador. • It is essential that the Ambassador links with other student service stakeholders • This program is designed to compliment, not compete with existing programs. • The Ambassador will be responsible for ticking off the list for employment suitability • Although the P Plate Program prefers students to complete Year 12 there is the flexibility within the program for suitably prepared students to apply for a job in Years 10-11
