NATIONAL TALK BLACK – 22/04/2025

On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:

Darren Moncrieff, indigenousliteracyfoundation (ILF) new Talent Program Manager, talking about the Innovative new program putting First Nations talent on pathway to success. The Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) is a national charity working with remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities across Australia. First Nations participants from remote Communities in the Northern Territory have taken part in the official launch and inaugural workshops of the Talent Pathways Program in Sydney with the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF). ILF’s innovative new Talent Pathways Program, supported by Lendlease’s Workplaces with Impact Grant, is a two-year pilot program to prepare and equip First Nations participants to use their creative skills within their Communities as publishers, graphic designers and or writers. Bi-annually, the ILF will select four participants aged 17-24 years who are not studying but looking for new career opportunities, from ILF’s existing CREATE and Pamela Lofts programs to go into Talent Pathways. The program will involve learning modules, mentorship, practical experience and tailored study based on each person’s unique career passions, in Community. You can find out more via the link below!
