NSLHD’s Muru Dali Gili Gili Employee network members Karen Madden and Eric Teuben recently became the district’s first graduates of the Jobs to Careers Programs.
The program, which is a collaborative effort between NSLHD, HealthShare NSW and TAFE NSW, provides Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees with an opportunity to undertake education to enhance their employment and leadership skills.
Participants undertake career development workshops, focusing on strengths and identifying areas for development.
They also receive education, interview coaching, assistance to enhance their resumes and other professional development support whilst networking with peers in cultural workshops at TAFE NSW Kurri Kurri.
RNSH endoscopy administration and waitlist coordinator Karen Madden, who graduated from the program with a Statement of Attainment in ‘Emerging Leaders’ from TAFE NSW, said graduating the program has been an invaluable experience.
