Help us to close the education gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians.
Are you an Aboriginal and or Torres Strait Islander person who’s passionate about education? Do you think you could be a good role model? Maybe you should consider applying to become an Indigenous Education Ambassador with the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR).
The Indigenous Education Ambassadors Program recruits Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to promote the importance of achievement in early learning, schooling, higher education and training to students and young people.
We’re looking for a broad range of people across age groups, trades and professions. You do not need to be a high profile leader to be an Ambassador. You just need to be a person who can speak confidently and motivate students, young people and communities.
Our Ambassadors visit children’s services, schools, TAFE colleges and universities to take part in events that promote the importance of education. They share their personal stories, as well as promote positive messages about the importance of education as a pathway to greater choices in life, a job, or starting a business.
