The Yapang Initiative

What is the Yapang Initiative?

Yapang translates as ‘pathway’ from the Dunghutti language belonging to the First Australian peoples from the Macleay Valley of New South Wales.
The program is just that – a pathway for people from a range of diverse backgrounds (such as First Australians, women or veterans) who might not otherwise get the opportunity to start a career in digital technology.

Through the Yapang Initiative, learners will be provided with a world-class foundation for that journey with education, training, employment and career support.

The Program has been developed to address the two sets of interrelated needs:

People that need the latest and most relevant digital skills to perform technology roles so that they can participate and thrive in the burgeoning digital economy.
Organisations that have adopted (or are in the process of adopting) technologies but have found that demand for people with technology skills exceeds the supply, and this is hampering their organisational initiatives or objectives.

The Yapang Pre-Assessment

YAPANGPRE

The Yapang Program Pre Assessment is an assessment process designed to determine apptitude for the program.

It consists of an online aptitude exam delivered online and will cover basic logic and math problems.

If this assessment is passed – we will conduct a full day of assessment at one of our Assessment centres where we will determine your:

Aptitude for IT
Motivation
Motivation for the AWS re/Start Program and for a career in the cloud

This assessment will be conducted during the Assessment Day through a bunch of enjoyable activities, and a one on one interview.

Although this may sound daunting, we're going to make it as much of an enjoyable experience as possible, you'll probably learn a few new skills as well as be provided with a free lunch and unlimted tea/coffee!

We'll also provide you some time to think about the problems before the big day – and there's a strong chance you'll be able to knock the assessment activities out of the park if you prepare yourself. There's no trick questions. We want you to succeed.
