Testimonials

The NITA Program has given me confidence and helped me to grow as a person. I'm proud to be working here on my Land and sharing my knowledge. I feel connected with my People and the Mossman Gorge Cultural Centre, and I enjoy welcoming people here and sharing our beautiful Country with visitors from all over the world.
- Rosie K.
This traineeship helped me connect back to my roots and my people. It has shown me the importance of a vision of a positive role model for future generations and the ripple effect it has in creating positive change and paving the path for my people. This traineeship is built so we can make our own decisions within ourselves to change for the better.
- Patricia M.
The traineeship taught me more skills than I realised. Skills that I now use in most aspects of my professional career - skills like communication, advocating for myself as well as others, the desire to continuously push myself and not settle for what others think are my limits.
- Kit H.
I moved to Ayers Rock Resort from a small town in NSW to take part in the traineeship program just after graduating from high school. I came to Yulara with the mindset that I would only be here for three months, but little did I know at that time, those three months would turn into three years.
- Rhys J.
Since obtaining my certificate with NITA it has opened up multiple opportunities for me. After my time at Ayers Rock Resort, I have confidently moved and worked all over the east coast of Australia from inland Queensland, up to Port Douglas, and all the way down to regional Victoria. I got the opportunity to work for huge companies such as Energy Australia and Workforce Australia and Royal Flying Doctor Service.
- Delisha P.
Without these meaningful experiences and the connections formed during the traineeship, I wouldn't be the person I am today, living a life filled with immense pride and gratitude. So not only does the experience provide opportunity through the skills you develop, but also the relationships you acquire.
