The Process
How ADAPT works.
A structured pathway from first conversation to ongoing professional employment. Not a training simulation: real work, real responsibility and real career development from day one.
Identification
We identify talented Indigenous candidates through our community networks, SWALSC connections and referral partnerships with client organisations. We look for people with potential, not just experience.
Placement
Trainees are placed within a Red Invest group company or embedded directly with a Tier 1 client partner, working on live projects.
Structured Learning
Every traineeship follows a structured learning pathway mapped to recognised qualifications. Trainees receive formal training alongside practical on-the-job experience.
Mentoring
Each trainee is paired with a senior professional within the group or client organisation who provides direct, ongoing mentoring. Not supervision, but genuine career guidance.
Progression
ADAPT is not designed to end. Trainees who complete the program have a clear pathway to ongoing employment: within the Red Invest group, with client partners, or in the broader industry with our full support.
The Outcome
Community impact.
Every traineeship is one more Indigenous professional contributing to their community's economic future. The long-term goal is a generation of Indigenous leaders across every sector of the Australian economy.
ADAPT means white-collar jobs, not just blue-collar. It means qualifications, not just experience. It means career pathways, not just employment.
