The Saltbush Foundation 2 Future initiative is a holistic, person-centred employment and engagement program designed to break the cycle of welfare dependence and empower individuals to pursue sustainable careers.
Saltbush is dedicated to empowering disadvantaged Aboriginal people by fostering employment opportunities and closing the employment gap. Through this initiative, we build meaningful, long-term relationships that create sustainable change in communities.
Foundation 2 Future offers a business-driven solution, enabling Aboriginal job seekers to build careers while helping employers develop a strong, skilled workforce. With a focus on mentoring, training, and employment pathways, the initiative ensures that both individuals and businesses benefit from long-term success.
Unlike conventional programs, Foundation 2 Future focuses on the individual, not just the job. Each participant receives customised support, including mentoring, counselling, and employment training, ensuring long-term success.
Developed by Aboriginal leaders and local experts, the program aligns with cultural values and personal obligations, creating an authentic pathway to employment.
Going beyond job placement, Foundation 2 Future provides on-the-job mentoring, well-being programs, and life skills training to ensure individuals remain engaged and succeed in the workforce.
The program collaborates directly with businesses and philanthropic partners, ensuring meaningful employment outcomes with measurable social and economic impact.
