The Shack Group will begin a service program in 2009 working directly with the Australian Aboriginal community groups to develop vocational training programs in information technology for students and adults. The indigenous inhabitants of Australia remain marginalized in contemporary society, and suffer disproportionately the effects of poverty, lack of educational resources, unemployment, and racism. We hope to provide resources and encouragement to Aboriginal groups to document their historical culture online.
Following internal assessment planning, Shack Group hopes to launch its VET accredited Information Technology and Business education programs for first semester in March 2009. This will offer us new opportunities for internal training and branded growth in the educational market as well as bring us closer to our partners and clients. Candidates will be invited to apply for teaching positions starting from November 2008.
