Indigenous Workforce Development · Est. November 2023
Empowering the next generation of Indigenous professionals.
The ADAPT Program is Red Invest Capital Holdings' commitment to creating real, lasting employment pathways for Indigenous Australians into white-collar professional careers: engineering, architecture, project management and business administration.
✓ Launched November 2023 · 6 Client Partners
The Mission
More than a traineeship. A movement.
Our people don't just deserve a seat at the table. They deserve an opportunity to design and build the table.
ADAPT was created because we believe the most powerful thing Red Invest Capital Holdings can do, beyond delivering exceptional projects, is to permanently change the career trajectory of Indigenous Australians.
Too many programs place Indigenous workers in entry-level roles and call it success. ADAPT is different. We place trainees in white-collar professional roles, in civil and structural engineering, architectural drafting, project management and business administration, with full mentoring support, recognised qualifications and a genuine career pathway.
Trainees are embedded within Red Invest group companies and our Tier 1 client partners, working on live, nationally significant projects from day one. This is not a training simulation. It is real work, real responsibility and real career development.
By 2030 we are targeting 250+ Indigenous employees across the group. ADAPT is the engine of that growth.
