As Indigenous Business Month comes to a close, we're shining a light on the Regional Aboriginal Partnership Outcome (RAPO) team, supporting Indigenous businesses to make strong cultural connections to achieve positive economic outcomes.  The RAPO staff live in community, are connected to Country, and work with their local community to co-design programs and initiatives that will suit each region’s needs and aspirations.   If you would like to reach out to your local representative to discuss opportunities, please contact us here: https://lnkd.in/gZBBAjBa   Image: Scott Morgan Deputy Director Aboriginal Partnerships from the RAPO team with key stakeholders at the recent Wollongong Indigenous Business Month event. 

Renewable energy experts Hiringa Energy are hosting a session to answer questions for interested businesses in the Good Earth Green Hydrogen and Ammonia (GEGHA) project.   Construction on the project is expected to commence mid-2025 with operations in 2026. The project is keen to engage with regional and local businesses from the Hunter to Moree and up to the Queensland border that are interested in learning more about how they can potentially be involved in both the construction and / or ongoing maintenance contracts.   Partly funded by the NSW Government in association with Sundown Pastoral Company Pty Ltd, in Gwydir Valley, NSW, the project will produce green hydrogen and green ammonia for applications like fertiliser and renewable fuel.   Want to hear more? Join the project team in person. Where? Social Co. House, 167 Balo Street, Moree When?

School leavers and those interested in a career in defence aviation were given a chance to look into the rewarding career path of an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer this month.   The Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Attraction Program, held over five days at TAFE's Aviation Delivery Hub in the Hunter region, aims to encourage more people to enrol in a Certificate II in Aeroskills. Participants also received an exclusive tour of the BAE Systems site at Williamtown, getting a behind-the-scenes look at one of the Hunter’s most versatile defence and security companies.    The NSW Government worked with TAFE NSW and major stakeholders to design this placed-based program, supported by a $70,000 investment from the NSW Government as part of its Targeted Workforce Development Scheme.    The program is being delivered in partnership with the Department of Education’s Skills & Workforce Programs.    #defence #defenceopportunities #aeroskills #TAFE #BAESystems #investregionalnsw
