The WPC Indigenous Employment Program is called 'Shake a Leg' and works closely with the objectives and guidelines of the Commonwealth of Australia Indigenous Employment Program. With a successful track record in employing Indigenous Australians in both Business and Government Traineeships and Apprenticeships, we encourage you to contact us to discuss how you can be a part of this great initiative.
Shake a Leg are the leaders in finding and placing young indigenous males and females into apprenticeships and traineeships. Throughout the duration of the apprenticeship or traineeship we offer a mentoring program to help indigenous apprentices' and trainees complete their qualification.
