First Nations Cultural Awareness Training
Our monthly First Nations Cultural Awareness Training, facilitated by our National Social Inclusion Manager Lynette Graham (a Dunghutti woman from Kempsey NSW), is a great opportunity to learn more about First Nations history, cultural practices and traditions. We encourage all employees to attend a session.
The sessions are run monthly through MS Teams and are available to all Programmed employees. You can book a session by clicking below.
You can also keep an eye on the 'Learning & Development Opportunities' section at the bottom of the FM NewsHub homepage to book in for future sessions.
Our Values
Diversity, Inclusion and Equality is one of our four core values here at Programmed, and we're proud to have strong representation from our Nation's First People. We encourage you all to take part in these initiatives!
