A program aimed at training Aboriginal people in environmental conservation and boosting their experience in land management has graduated two students from Mandurah and Pinjarra, who will now look to work in the field.
The Chevron Aboriginal Conservation Training Program recently celebrated the graduation of three participants in total from the 12-week program.
Mandurah’s Kyle Williams and Ricky Ugle from Pinjarra joined Hamilton Hill’s Kyron Dvorak on graduation.
“The program is designed to upskill and expand employment pathways for participants, while enabling them to achieve conservation outcomes across the Perth metropolitan region,” CVA team leader Hannah Gulliver said.
“During the program the students benefited from knowledge shared by cultural mentors.
“It has been a rewarding experience leading this team of passionate and motivated individuals, and I look forward to seeing where they go next.”
