Overview
At ECU, we have a variety of exciting opportunities available at for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants. Our vision is to provide opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to start/develop their careers with confidence, qualifications, and skills.

The current opportunity available is a Gardner/Horticulture Traineeship based at ECU’s Mount Lawley campus. During your time as a Trainee at ECU, you will complete a Cert III or IV in Horticulture. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys spending time outside and connecting to nature.

During the Gardener Traineeship you will help keep ECU’s campuses looking beautiful through:

• Maintaining the ornamental and native gardens;
• Operating required machinery and equipment such as chemical and spray activities;
• Safe use of equipment, tools and vehicles

At ECU we are guided by our values of integrity, respect, rational inquiry, personal excellence and courage. Our focus on teaching and research is inspired by engagement and partnerships with those in the many communities we were established to serve.

ECU acknowledges and respects the continuing relationship with the Noongar people, the traditional custodians of the land upon which its campuses stand. Kurongkurl Katitjin, ECU's Centre for Indigenous Australian Education and Research, plays a vital role in assisting the university to meet its commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

Traineeships are facilitated through Warumilang (AFL SportsReady’s Indigenous Program).
