because of her - we can.

This year's NAIDOC Week (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee)  theme is celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women who fought, and continue to fight for justice, equal rights, rights to country, law and justice, access to education, employment and to maintain and celebrate their culture, language, music and art.



So, with the theme of Because of her - we can, I’d like to celebrate Banyan women, Deb Nelson, the Managing Director of Aboriginal employment advocacy group Yarn’n.

Last year, Randstad formed a partnership with Yarn'n to ensure all processes are adapted to recognise and meet the cultural needs of participants and provide quality, tangible results for both our clients and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. We aim to achieve this with authenticity and meaning, while still delivering a robust, quality-based, proven recruitment and project management solution.



Thanks to the work of Deb and her team we are able to strengthen our ongoing focus on inclusion and diversity; bringing two experts in their fields together to promote ongoing, meaningful employment across indigenous communities throughout Australia.

it’s crucial work that makes a difference.

 

Yarn’n is a 100% Aboriginal owned and operated boutique Aboriginal Employment Services agency that works to create and deliver sustainable change through employment within both the Aboriginal community and Australia as a whole.

Their aim is to use employment as a platform to help Aboriginal people sustainably change their lives for the better.  Having been in operation for over 10 years, Yarn’n is recognised for establishing national benchmarks in the recruitment, training and retention of Aboriginal people.



Randstad supports this vision and has worked closely with Yarn’n across key initiatives, our aligned philosophy in regards to inclusion and connecting people with meaningful job opportunities, strengthens this commitment further.
