Indigenous relationships

Abigroup is formalising its indigenous engagement framework around the following:

• Creating opportunities - through employment and on-the-job training. This was formalised in 2009 with the implementation of the Structured Training Employment Package (STEP) program across the organisation.
• Building understanding and respect - through cultural awareness and understanding initiatives. The relationship with Red Dust was part of this commitment.
• Strengthening relationships - with indigenous business owners as future project partners, subcontractors and suppliers.

• Indigenous trainees on strong career path
