INDIGENOUS ENGAGEMENT
The foundation of KCU
KCU is focussed on engaging with the Indigenous local community and traditional owner groups. Creating employment and training for local Indigenous people and procurement opportunities for traditional owner businesses.
Through the KCU Indigenous Engagement Program, the company supports and encourages an increase in Indigenous workforce participation, increased training and improved career outcomes for all Indigenous people and traditional owner groups. Centred around a holistic approach to employment in the community itself.
Indigenous engagement does not stop once an employee starts working at KCU. With its strong support for Aboriginal employees through career and personal development, it has led to long term retention and ongoing employment opportunities across all of KCU’s operations. Employment opportunities are backed by the company’s RIPPA values which form the backbone of KCU.
