An Australian Government funded training opportunity for indigenous applicants
Background
This innovative project aims to train Indigenous broadcasters through the support of organisations such as the Australian Football League (AFL), AFL Qld, Brisbane Indigenous Media Association and Your Financial Edge Pty Ltd.
These partnerships aim to provide a pathway for Indigenous peoples into sustainable employment in any aspect of the media industry and strongly support ongoing career pathways for participants.
Your Financial Edge Pty Ltd will coordinate all the activities on behalf of these partners in conjunction with the existing AFL Radio Broadcast via 989fm in Brisbane and across the National Indigenous Radio Service.
Eligibility
Applicants must meet all relevant eligibility requirements including the following:
- Must identify as being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent
- Must not be currently enrolled in a Commonwealth funded Indigenous Employment Programs project
- Must not have previously completed a Certificate III in Media
Training details
Accredited training in Certificate III of Media will be provided to up to 60 people via training modules and potential participation in live AFL broadcasts. Training modules can be undertaken and completed from all states and territories in Australia. Participants also have the opportunity to be mentored by senior Indigenous broadcasters and AFL expert callers and commentators.
This is a unique opportunity for interested people without prior industry experience to approach media industry professionals and undertake an industry-recognised course in all aspects of broadcasting. While knowledge of AFL football is desirable, it is not a pre-requisite.
