The traineeship provides participants with full wraparound support while they complete their certificate, and specialist workshops and training to learn about culture, country, and community through the lens of traditional conservation techniques, native flora, and Indigenous bush tucker.

The program will provide landscaping services at community housing for Indigenous people in the areas of:
