Inaugural AFE Symposium for Indigenous Early Career Researchers in Business and Commerce

Workshop Theme: Closing the Gap Report 2020
Closing the Gap began in response to a call for governments to commit to achieving equality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in health and life expectancy within a generation. The report highlights that the key priority areas of employment and education are still a major concern. Millions of dollars are injected into the economy to increase self-employment, and financial literacy education to ensure success. There is a need for further research to understand why these improvements have not translated into closing the gap between Indigenous education and employment outcomes. These should help future government policy initiatives. This workshop will focus on outstanding research questions and findings that can help accelerate improvements in life outcomes, programs and services which need to be designed, developed, and implemented in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.  For all details, click HERE
