Northern Territory Government and our partners

It’s exciting for all of us here at New Future IT to be working with the Northern Territory Government and our partners to create opportunities in technology for territorians.

A terrific morning having Minister Ngaree Ah Kit visit our office and spend time with our team meeting them and hearing about their career pathways.

The minister was joined by representatives from the Department of Corporate and Digital Development as well as leaders of several ICT companies. Seeing so many people sharing the same desire to create opportunities in technology gives us more energy and confidence to continue our mission and try and do more.

Investing In Territory Trainees to Boost Digital Industry

Our Territory Labor Government is developing skills locally as we work towards a $40 billion economy by 2030.

We know that digital skills will be in high demand and that homegrown talent and career path development is the best way to grow local industries to reach this economic target.

We are helping young Territorians into digital careers and growing the Territory’s digital capacity with a Cross Sector Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Traineeship Program.

This is a joint initiative with the ICT Industry Association of NT (ICTNT) with $230,000 allocated to help young Territorians start their digital careers with a local digital business.

The program aims to provide more investment in the training and development of young Territorians, increase the number of ICT trainees in the NT, and support local digital industry growth and capability.

It is open to any local digital business that employs or intends to employ ICT trainees in the NT.

The first cohort of trainees recently commenced with New Future IT, NEC, and Kinetic IT with more traineeships currently available.

Businesses and Territorians can express their interest in the program by contacting trainee@ictnt.asn.au or calling 0488 785 328
