Youth in Tourism
Supporting young Aboriginal people to build careers in tourism — through education, work experience, internships, community leader mentoring, life skills and career guidance.
Youth in Tourism opens real career pathways for young Aboriginal people on their own Country — combining education, paid work experience and mentoring from community leaders.
The program covers the full spectrum: from career guidance and life skills through to structured internships with established tourism operators across WA.
186 young people have already graduated. Every graduate is a future operator, guide or industry leader.
