iEmpower Youth Inc and ECCV have worked together on numerous projects that affect people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds for several years.
In this paper, we will reference points made in the 2015 Employment Services Exposure Draft submission1 produced by this partnership. More recently, we collaborated to hold the Workplace rEvolution conference, designed to highlight the problems facing culturally and linguistically diverse people in the labour market and produce recommendations to solve these problems.
The conference was timed specifically to coincide with the release of the employment services Discussion Paper, so that our response would be timely and current. Whilst we are encouraged by the new initiatives suggested in the Discussion Paper, we note that there is little specificity regarding some of the most disadvantaged jobseekers – those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
