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.
