Our purpose
The National Indigenous Training Academy (NITA) aims to empower the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people by providing market leading training and employment programs, growing an Indigenous workforce.
NITA caters to Indigenous people from all areas of Australia aged between 18 and 30, who are interested and ready to start their career in hospitality. We are dedicated to delivering quality training while offering a supportive and inspiring environment that respects and values the unique traditions, wisdom, and cultures of Indigenous communities.
Our delivery approach is both practical and fun. Workshops and real workplace experiences are the core of our programs because we believe this interactive mode of learning is the best way to develop the knowledge and skills required to gain your nationally recognised qualification.
