Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) First Nations – Scoping Grant Opportunity Guidelines

Overview

The SEE Program includes two distinct but complementary streams to support LLND skills training in metropolitan, regional, and remote areas:  •            Stream 1: LLND skills training delivery to individuals by SEE providers, contracted by the department, including through place-based project delivery. •            Stream 2: SEE First Nations - locally tailored, whole of community LLND skills training delivery to First Nations people through place-based grants. SEE First Nations grants will fund First Nations organisations, including Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs), registered training organisations (RTOs), Adult and Community Education (ACE) providers or peak bodies (applying on behalf of their eligible members). SEE First Nations grants will fund projects that are designed to meet whole of community English LLND skills training needs of First Nations people. Improving English LLND skills is a stepping stone to improving: •            individual, family and community wellbeing, and •            cultural and social outcomes. SEE First Nations offers two different grant opportunities: Scoping Grants Small grants of up to $30,000 (excluding GST) to help eligible organisations to develop a Delivery Grant application. Delivery Grants Grants to eligible organisations to deliver English LLND skills training to First Nations people across Australia. The training is to be co-designed with the community/communities in which it will be delivered. Delivery Grants will typically be for between $350,000 and $1,000,000 (excluding GST) per year over a 2 to 3 year period, for a single site, or up to $3,000,000 (excluding GST) per year for delivery at multiple sites. This is the major component of SEE First Nations.
