Background
The Wadu strategy is a joint initiative of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander People’s Training Advisory Council (ATSIPTAC) and the
Australian Student Traineeship foundation (ASTF). It has been
developed to promote best practice vocational education programs
through building partnerships between educators, businesses and
communities to improve educational success and create better
vocational opportunities for young indigenous Australians.

The strategy has five key components:

• funding of some pilot programs
• development of a How to.. guide
• development of a Professional Development kit
• establishment of a national network, Wadu-net
• inauguration of the Wadu award

Purpose
Wadu-net supports the Wadu strategy by providing a network through which its members can

• Share good practice and success stories about Vocational Learning for young Indigenous students
• Share resources and information
• Discuss issues and support each other
• Announce special events
