WorkVentures works with indigenous people and communities to encourage change and progress, and to identify and facilitate sustainable solutions to long term issues.

In July 2008 the Hope Vale Indigenous Knowledge and Technology Centre opened at Hope Vale on the Cape York Peninsula. The centre provides computer training and internet access for people of all ages. We also recently donated and installed computers in the Binal Munka Bayen Knowledge Centre at Wujal Wujal, and have delivered iGetIT! training in that community.

We also run a range of courses for aboriginal people though our Connect Centres, delivering a range of specific courses, which are listed below.

WorkVentures is an affiliate of the Australian Indigenous Minority Supplier Council (AIMSC).
