This report is the second in a three-year longitudinal evaluation of NAB’s Indigenous Employment Program (IEP) Its purpose is to track the career and personal development of Indigenous employees following the Guiding Principles of the Social and Emotional Wellbeing Framework 2004 for Indigenous
people.1 The research captures the experience of 39 Managers, 38 trainees/employees and 8 trainers and
educators as reported in interviews undertaken in late 2010.
Under the program, Indigenous students in their last two years of high school and older full-time trainees undertake traineeships with NAB which enable them to gain experience while completing a qualification and earning a wage. This report reviews the experience of these trainees and for the first time, Indigenous
permanent employees.
